Eric
Parker stepped down as secretary after many years
faithful service in this post. Thank you Eric. Paul
Knowles will now bin all the letters that come the
clubs way.
-
Roger
Bell will continue to do an excellent job of looking
after the club accounts next year. He handed round
his sheets for 2005 and didn’t seem too alarmed
about anything so I think all is in order. If anyone
wants more information I’m sure you can get it from
Roger.

Simon
Stainer was swiftly re-elected as president, having
spectacularly failed to perform his one annual task,
that of chairing the AGM! In his absence Barrie
Laycock stepped in and all was well.
-
Captains
were elected also – Jane Leather will be ladies
captain and Simon Stainer the mens captain. Thanks
to Sue Owen for her years efforts as ladies captain
and Gary Thorpe for his efforts last year.
-
The club
agreed to fund a trip to Northern Ireland for the
short British Championship race in April 2006 to the
tune of £300 as in the past.
Details here.
-
It was
agreed that we should maintain our contribution to
Ambleside Rugby Club where the club meet, change and
shower on Tuesday nights in Winter.
-
After a
brief discussion about the
club championship for
2006 it was decided that British and English
Championship races will be avoided and there will be
more races in the series. It was also agreed that
there will also be Tuesday night races races on club
nights to encourage participation. Details now on
this site.

Eric
Parker and Geoff Clayton have agreed to take over
the running of the Langdale race next year and will
need help nearer the time. The money raised goes
into the club and we all benefit so if you can help
I’m sure it will be appreciated. Thanks to Jon Fish
for organizing this extremely successful race for
the past few years.
-
Dan
Duxbury will organise Loughrigg Fell Race in April
2006. (Details
here.) He will also organise a
club ‘score’ orienteering event next year on a
Tuesday night to be part of the club championship
series of races.
-
Barrie
Laycock also mentioned an informal club navigation
weekend to improve members skills in this area if
sodesired. This is yet to be arranged so keep your
eyes and ears peeled.
-
The
London marathon entries this year were claimed by
Gary Thorpe, Geoff Clayton and Dan Duxbury. Thanks
Eric for sorting these out again.
