Club AGM at Wraysbury "Silver Wing" Sailing Base on Wednesday 28th June
Can I remind you of this year's AGM, to be held at the BA Sailing Club,
Wraysbury, on June 28th. Please make all efforts to attend this important
meeting.
Last Year's minutes:
www.barunner.org.uk/attachments/BAAC AGM2016 minutes.doc
This Year's Agenda:
- 1.0 Minutes of 2016 Annual General Meeting
- 2.0 President’s Address: John
Williams
- 3.0 Acting Chairman’s Report:
Roderick Hoffman
- 4.0 Treasurer’s Report: Chris Kelly
- 5.0 Membership Secretary’s Report:
Alan Friar
- 6.0 Ladies’ Captain’s Report: Clara
Halket
- 7.0 Men’s Captain’s Report: Gary
Rushmer
- 8.0 Track & Field Report:
Steve Hillier
- 9.0 Committee Member report: Steve
Taylor
- 10.0 Election of new committee 2017/8
- 11.0 Open Forum
Voting at the AGM:
Please note that because we are still operating as a section within BA Clubs
only those members who are paid up members of both BA Clubs and the Athletics
Club, can vote for the new committee (or vote on other critical motions) and that the
key posts of Chairman, Honorary Secretary and Honorary Treasurer must be held by
BA Clubs members. But don't get worked up about that - we haven't had more
applicants for committee roles than we have roles so I don't think there will be
any contentious votes.
Moreover the new committee will be very keen to hear the views or concerns of all members
on any topics of interest, during the Open Forum. You can pay your Athletics Clubs
subscription on the night. For BA Clubs membership you need to contact BA
Clubs directly at
Membership BAClubs <membership@ba.com>. We recommend subscribing to BA Clubs
membership, though on a monthly basis.
Refreshments:
Refreshments will be provided with M&S sandwiches and there will be a pay bar
operated for us by a member of the Sailing Club. Please tell us to expect you so
that we can get the food order right.
Sale of goods:
I'll provide another opportunity for people to help us empty our store
cupboard. We generated £50 the other week which the club committee have
decided to donate to the club charity White Lodge.
Where is the Sailing Base?
It's on the club map, directions were in last week's digest and I'll repeat those details next week also.
Let us know
- ... to expect you,
- ...and if you've a particular question or topic for the Open Forum.

The second Rosenheim meeting of the season took place at Epsom and Ewell on

many events as she could from 100m up to 1500m (only missing the 200m) and the
men covered all the track events not involving hurdles plus high jump and triple
jump as well as shot put and hammer. Results are here:

Let me know if you are interested in turning out (no experience necessary). I

[BA] Fun Run 20th July 2017
My turn to ask for volunteers for the Harmondsworth Moor Fun Run which this
year is on 20th July. This event is no longer sponsored by BA but I am
confident that we'll again have sandwiches and a beer for all volunteers able to
help out either on the course or with the finish. The timetable is likely
to be the same as last year with the Little Legs 1k run at 16:30 and the main
run starting at 17:30. Again there will be a 10k option though most will
run 5k and we will divert slower 10k runners to finish after 8k - that worked
well last year. This remains a Cancer Research UK event.
Please let me know that you will be available or, if you are a regular and
you know that you can't make it, that you won't.

Extremely warm weather in the southern part of UK appeared to slow runners
down this weekend with some affected more than others.
The best performance came from Dave Dixon (18:31, 80.92%) at Hackney Marshes
and even that is slow by his standards. For years he has been comfortably
qualified for club 18-30 but I suppose we are all growing older.
Julie Barclay (22:41,77.74%) was at Rushmoor after some days of warm weather
training in Spain. Slower than last week but comfortably the fastest in
her age category.
Barry Walters (24:17) was in a group visiting former Track & Field captain
Eddie Giles (26:01) at his new home in Salisbury. Runners included Roderick
Hoffman (26:18) and a former colleague Andrew Egerton (29:04) whose daughter
Polly Egerton (25:00) completed her 10th 5km parkrun and qualified for her white
“10” T-shirt.
Scott Davison (23:58), for so long totally loyal to Bedfont Lakes, continues
to explore the local runs and this week visited Northala Fields along with Steve
Taylor (25:52) who has adopted it as his favourite. Northala Fields parkrun is
now three years old. The club record (20:27) was set by Richard Ruffell on
the day of the inaugural run in June 2014.
Ian (28:41) and Caroline Cockram (31:20) ran at Tring for the first time on
an occasion which attracted a record attendance of 386 including the prime
movers and shakers of parkrun including movement founder Paul Sinton-Hewitt
(21:50), Chief Operating Officer Tom Williams(23:22), Event Support Manager
Joanne Sinton-Hewitt (28:42), Gunnersbury event director Arlene Gallagher
(31:06), Press and Media Manager Glen Turner (17:32, M-1) and Head of
Participation Chrissie Wellington (also phenomenal Ironman triathlete) (22:16,
F-2). Perhaps someone better informed than me can tell us what it was all
about. [Roderick adds - I suspect the parkrun annual conference had
something to do with it]
An official welcome to the stats this week for Petra Otto, an old friend of
the club and now our newest member. She claims to like the warm weather
and gets up at dawn for a refreshing run. This week she was at March
(33:17).
Steve Newell
Updated club parkrun stats
If you want to promote a special parkrun then let Steve or I know...
There is the older runners event at Bushy on 1st July, my 200
tourist parkrun at Beckenham on
22nd July and the club committee has decided to make the August 5th Black Park
Pacer Day the Run-of-the-Month for August.

Competition
I've had the following submissions:
- "Upon hearing that more of the club's veterans will be attending, Janet and
Laurie get themselves ready to judge the Track&Field Grand Prix Javelin
Competition" (Roderick Hoffman)
- "No, I said I'll need a LORRY to get this home." (John Scaife)
- "That picture nail was no good, was it?" (Petra Otto)

Tom's Diary - Richmond 10 (18th June)
18th June: This morning we popped along to the Richmond 10k.
With no shaded areas so very/very hot although there was a drink
station half way for safety reasons. I noticed 15 to 20 drop out at
start of second loop and walked back to the finish.
Phil Wicks won easy but below par in 31.??.
Julie having spent 4 days in Spain in the week and had a couple of
small training runs in a higher temperature, although the humidity
wasn't as bad, today ran a sensible pace to finish without a struggle.
Her time was down a bit but to be expected and finished 284th in 47.08.
Paul Watt now using his parkruns to help his 10ks and track events
that he is interested and enjoying. He was just a minute adrift of
Julie in 48.16 and finished 312th.
We also met up with Scott Davison who seems a regular here. Saw
Scott starting 2nd loop and looked quite happy with his pace and saw
him again with 1k to go still keeping same pace under the hot
conditions to finish 451st in 56.45. Saw him after and said all
went ok, although too hot.
Today 557 finished.
