ANECC web site. Website still down so no change

Rowrah/Kirkbride Sprint. Ian said he would look into the Clerk of the Course, medical and safety requirements for such events for the next meeting.

 

Targa Rally Iain Tullie to be contacted regards meeting and discussing how to go about running one, Peter to email him. However could we find say 6 to 8 new venues.

 

Social Events Such as a Pub Run/Treasure Hunt, closed to club event of a Sunday evening finishing at a Public House with pre ordered meals to greet members on their return. It was agreed we would put a date of the 1st of May in the 2016 calendar for such an event.

 

2016 Events Calendar.  The draft version of the 2016 calendar is to be circulated and discussed further.

 

Any Other Businesss

 

Magazine Covers.  Peter said we still have 850 of the present covers. It was agreed we would continue to use them for 2016 and review again for 2017

 

Autotest Championship. It was suggested that we consider having one round of our 2016 championship run by another club such as Spadeadam and they have one round of theirs run by us. Ian to ask Kerryl to check if there would be any permit or blue book championship issues with such an arrangement.

 

First Aid Training The MSA may require key people involved with the Greystoke to have first aid training and EMMU have offered to run two evening courses in early 2016. The club fully supports this and agreed to pay the cost of such training. Ian to advise Roger. And also look into the possibility of offering the training on a club wide basis at say a club night.

 

 Committee Meeting Venue As the Shepherds Hotel we may not be available to us for much longer we need to consider alternatives. The Conservative Club in Cockermouth was suggested and Russell said he would enquire and look for other options.
