Committee Corner

The 2021/22 Sunday programme has been agreed and will be published in August. It contains several new runs following member suggestions
The membership form was removed in early July and prospective new members advised to pay visitor fees until the 2021/22 form is available in late August
A new arrangement will be introduced for booking Sunday helper dates whereby members select dates online up to 3 months on advance. This will provide a more flexible arrangement and reduce the high drop-out rate. It will be fully explained in an email to all members. As discussed at the AGM over 80’s will not be required to do helper duties
Silke will set up a MAWA Instagram account, which is the preferred social media for a lot of our younger members
The track at WAAS will be re-surfaced between October and February. Following consultation with our WAAS meet organisers, the committee agreed there will not be alternative Tuesday meetings in this period
There will be all-ages State Cross Country and 20km Walk Championships. Check the Athletics West website for details and online entry
There will be an Australian Masters Cross Country Championship in Adelaide. Check the AMA website for details and online entry
Our 2021 State Track and Field Championship was highly successful attracting a record entry of 203
A detailed review of Track and Field finances revealed that despite additional costs for floodlighting at ECAC we roughly broke even. Track fees at ECAC will remain at $3
It was agreed that non-members could attend MAWA coaching sessions but must register and pay the $5 visitor fee. This is required for insurance purposes
Barbara Blurton, Bob Schickert and Richard Blurton have been invited by AW to join the organising committee for the Australian Masters Games
Richard Blurton will attend the AMA AGM in Tweed Heads in late August
