Dear Club Secretary/official
A County meeting and the belated AGM will be held at 7.00pm on Monday, 24th September at WolfretonSchool, Carr Lane, Willerby, (travel directions are attached). The meeting will have to conclude by 9.00pm if we are not to be locked in. Venue chosen as free, thanks to Mike Nicholson- we will have to conserve our financial resources so that they can be applied to competitions we stage or are involved in. Also Paper work will be sent by e-mail to those whose e-mail addresses I have. In the past NoEAA paid administration costs but this ceased last April when they lost governance to England Athletics. Hence the need to make economies as our only income is Championship and Track League entry fees.
Minutes of the last AGM and Committee meeting will be available at the meeting.
Northern Athletics are discussing the Competition Review at their AGM on 22nd September. Probably most of you have not seen this document which is radical in the way it proposes different levels of Track & Field Competition; changes of age groups; combined club and schools competition. Hence it is controversial. I gather that the up to date version (version 10) will not be released until September 19th, when UKA’s Board approve it. It should go on the England Athletics website once it is released. However for club, version 8, will be as an attachment to e-mails – it is 18 pages long but T&F clubs should view it.
Yours sincerely,
Edwin Bellamy

9. To appoint a permit/s secretary. Currently Permits are only required for Road Races but UKA have started Cross Country permitting through the Northern Athletics Office, and are to start T&F permitting shortly.
10.To form a sub committee to look at redrafting the constitution in the light of the CountyAssociation no longer being a sub committee of the NoEAA, it having lost the governance of the sport to England Athletics.
Notes I am looking for someone to take on the role of secretary, as soon as possible, even if I am guiding them; this is because I have taken on the role of chairman of England Athletics – Yorkshire & Humberside. Consideration needs to be given to the role of the secretary – the attendance at NoEAA General Committee has gone, so basically it is minute taking; does the secretary have to organise the T&F League and Cross Country & Track & Field Championships or can they be delegated – do we need to revert to Championship Secretaries?
We need to consider taking in the Humberside Track & Field League and the East Yorkshire Cross Country League as sub committees. It seems pointless for these bodies to pay £50 affiliation to England Athletics when all their members are already club members and the only benefit is a single vote in any elections at England Regional, national and UKA level. The same could apply to any other bodies whose members are already club members. All that we as a county would require is that a delegate be appointed who would make a brief report as necessary.
