   AGM – needs to be booked at Jaguar in January 2016.
   Jaguar Fees – are now due and should be passed to Mark Dalton.
   Training Groups – there was a discussion of how Clive Horton’s Wednesday group should be described to members. It was originally conceived as a long run group but recently is sometimes another rep or fartlek group similar to level 2. It is great to have group leaders giving choice for members, but it may be confusing to have similar groups. If this group is evolving beyond a long run group, then we need to discuss with Clive the best way to include this group.
   Warks Road Race League AGM – 9th November – we will ask for 10Km to be included for 2016
   Christmas Cracker Run – Tony Mackness will organise this for 20th December.
