Below are the notes that went out from the Club Chairman following the Inaugural AGM on Sunday, 5th December following the Luton Marathon. These are followed by the minutes from that meeting.
Prospective 100 Club Members and Wannabees,
Attached are the minutes from the Inaugural General Meeting of the 100 Marathon Club. We now have a properly Constituted and Affiliated Club, with a Bank Account ready and waiting to receive your subs.
While we don’t intend to extricate old members immediately, none of us are members of the new club until we sign a membership form and hand over the money. To facilitate this I’m enclosing a membership form
So what’s going to happen next? Here are some thoughts/comments/updates.
1) Newsletter - It is intended that the first Newsletter under the new regime will be issued after our first committee meeting, sometime in January. At the committee meeting we will decide dates for issue of a quarterly Newsletter, to include cut off dates for input to it.
Please get your thinking caps on, plus the fingers going on the keyboards, as we would like contributions from the members. A newsletter is only as good as the contributions received.
2) Stats – As we have said, current members are guaranteed admittance at their current status. That said, I’m sure you will want to see those figures rising on the website, so get working on those lists. If you are struggling with your older years, then start with an update of 2004. We want to split out road, off-road & Ultras, so give us enough details to do this.
At present I get as many results myself from the Internet plus any that are supplied. I’ll continue to do this to year end, and update the website accordingly. Initially, any figures will be generally unsubstantiated, but as we move forward this will change. From 2005 the onus will be on you to supply details, but any updates from yourselves now would be welcome.
3) Kit Update – Ok, we had a bit of a hiccup, but Dave Major & John Dawson are frantically working in the background to move this forward. No doubt Dave will have his t-shirt with him in Calvia, and I hope to have received a sample from Ron Hill, so expect some discussions over that beer!
4) Membership Cut-off – This will be a committee decision, but at some point we will only be communicating with paid-up members. Everybody who is receiving this will receive a Newsletter in January, after that, it is unlikely!
5) Feedback – I may be the Chairman, but it is your club. Please let us know what you expect from the club, plus any ideas for competitions, trips etc.
6) Email – The easiest, quickest and cheapest way to communicate with the members is by email. If you are receiving this by royal mail and you are in possession of an email address, please advise us. I promise we won’t pass it on to anyone!
I’ll see quite a few of you this weekend for the Calvia Marathon. For those and all other members, I wish you a happy Christmas.
Regards
Roger Biggs
Chairman

100 MARATHON CLUB
Minutes of the Inaugural General Meeting
Held at Lea Manor Recreation Centre, Luton - 4 pm 5th December 2004
Chairman designate Roger Biggs opened the meeting and started by thanking those who had been involved in the Club in the past and those who had voted to move the 100 Marathon Club forward.
In his opening statement Roger outlined aspects of the activities of the constituted Club should the vote be in favour of formation.
Starting from 2005 it will be the responsibility of members to notify the Club quarterly of any marathons/ultras completed. As is the case now, members will be trusted that they actually completed any event notified, but the 100 Marathon Club will reserve the right to exclude events which do not meet the criteria set out in the constitution. How we take forward statistics from the past will be discussed at the first full committee meeting. Notified results will be posted on the club website, and be included in the Newsletters (expected to be quarterly).
As previously suggested, the first 100 Marathon Club competition for members will be to complete the most British & Irish marathons which have race permits and course measurement certificates in 2005. The committee will decide the extent of the awards. The first Marathon of the year will not be until March, so runners will have time to get involved.
The proposed opening membership subscription is a starting point; the club will need to see what expenses are incurred through the year. Potential/known expenses are:
SEAA affiliation fees
Stationary, copying & postage for Newsletters and other circulars to members.
Website.
Competitions.
Club Kit – advance payment for stock.Roger thanked those members who had loaned the club money to help with the first order
Peter Graham the Club Secretary announced the results of the voting:
1. Ratification of the Constitution.
There were 52 votes for the Ratification of the Constitution and none against
The Constitution was then signed by the Chairman and Club Secretary.
2. Election of Committee.
Roger Biggs 52 Votes - Chairman
Peter Graham 52 Votes - Secretary
Tad Lancucki 52 Votes - Treasurer
David Major 35 Votes – Elected Committee Member
Merv Nutburn 37 Votes - Elected Committee Member
Darren Fazackerley 3 votes
Steve Edwards 13 Votes
Rory Coleman 16 Votes
No-one voted against any of the nominees.
Roger thanked those members who had stood for Election.
3. Determination of subscription rates for 2004/5.
There were 52 votes for and none against. The subscription rate for the year ending 30.09.05 will be 10 pounds for Full Membership and 7.50 for Associate Membership.
4. Any Other Business.
Darren Fazackerley asked about Club places for the London Marathon.
A place for London will not be available until 2006. The committee would decide/propose rules, but it was thought that a simple ballot for members who had been rejected was likely.
John Wallace mentioned he would like to organise a special 50th Birthday marathon in 2006 which the 100 Marathon Club may want to be involved in.
The 100 Marathon Club has a Bank Account. Any cheques should be made payable to the 100 Marathon Club.
There were no other questions so the meeting was brought to a close.
All members who were at the Inaugural General Meeting of the 100 Marathon Club were asked to sign a record of attendance.
More members said they would have come if the meeting had been earlier in the afternoon but we were pleased with the number who took the trouble to attend.
