Uncashed Cheque to WT 2011

ET reported that the WT cannot find the cheque sent to them in 2010 and raised at the AGM. There was some discussion as to what to with the monies – allocate them within the Club, perhaps to Keiran Sinnett or to resubmit to the WT. It was agreed to refer to Gill as to best course of action, as it is understood that Gill knows what publicity was surrounding it etc.

Border League

ET had an email exchange with CS and he reported that everything is under control for the Border League race this month that WTC are hosting. He will be putting out a call for Marshals closer to the time.

Coaches (Qualifications etc)

There is some question over whether we pay the coaches on a consistent basis – Olly Smith has reported that he has not been paid for some time. It was agreed that some consistency is needed in this area. GW to check records to see if payments have been made in 2010 and 2011.

ET raised the question of Coaches’ qualifications and what they are permitted to coach. She issued a sheet taken from the WT website that outlines expectations and it was agreed that his should be issued to all coaches. In essence, Level 1 coaches are not insured to coach sessions that they have devised, but may either assist a Head Coach, or take a session that has been provided to them, either from the Head Coach or from the WT skill cards.

The question also arose as to who we have as qualified coaches and to what level they are qualified. It was felt that Steve Smith may have this information and CS will confer with both him and GW to ascertain exactly where we stand at the present time.

Survey

ET told the Committee that there has been a good response from the Club to the survey, with almost 33% of members responding. There are no nasty shocks in the replies! She will now close the survey and present the findings at the next Committee meeting.

First Aiders and Other Courses

JB mentioned that Tom (currently half way around the world!) is a trainer for first aid. A discussion was held as to whether we should hold a short internal first aid course open to Club Members and whether all courses that the Club are made aware of should be open to members. It was agreed that ET will post issue details of course to members, but that these must be self-funding. There was some doubt as to whether training up Club Members for first aid may present its own problems. It was agreed to talk to Ian Laing to see if he is a trainer and take it from there.

Club Nominated Events

It was agreed that a club event would be a good idea, although we may have left it a little late for 2012. The Club Relays, Hellvellyn, the Fell Relays and the Castle Relays were all discussed.

It was agreed that ET will check availability for the Club Relays. If possible, we will buy two team entries and then offer them to Club Members, on a ‘drawn out of the hat’ basis.

KH will look into what is involved with the Castle Relays – we discussed the possibility of hiring a vehicle/ covering transport costs for 2012.

It was agreed that both Hellvelyn and the Fell Relays will probably be attended by the Club but on a more informal basis, on a participatory and on a supporter level. The Fell Relays are in Shropshire this year; CS to look into costs and the Club will enter two teams and then ask for interest from the members.
