Treasurer Report – Tony Mackness discussed details of the accounts.
Social Events – The Awards Evening at Jaguar was an enormous success. Thanks to Daisy Robbins and everyone who helped, for all the organisation of the event. The Silent Disco and Raffle format were well received.
Membership – So far, we have around 207 renewals since the AGM.
Health and Safety – There were no issues in March.
Training – Thanks to all the coaches leading training sessions for the club. More coaches are needed to cover weekly sessions. Rob Richardson has completed his Endurance course.
Events – The Sutton Park road relays were well attended, and the Cotswolds Hilly 100 relay is in May. Some Warwickshire Road Race League events had small numbers of places and have filled up quickly.
10km race – Entries have now opened via StuWeb. Many thanks to new and existing sponsors. The main charity voted by members is Coventry Dementia Hub. The 10km improvers group sessions will encourage new runners to participate.
Runners of the Month – The winners are Yvonne Boyle (stepping in late at Midland relays) and Martin McGough (winner of Draycote Half Marathon).
