Dear All

The London Regional Council will be hosting an Open Forum for London based Athletics and Running clubs on Wednesday 27 January starting at 7pm.

The session will be held over the Zoom platform and last for approximately 90 minutes with pre-registration essential.

Registration Link:

The evening will be hosted by the London Regional Council and briefly update on some key generic topics including the upcoming Council elections before splitting the Forum into 2 breakout rooms covering the themes below:

Theme 1: Facilities, funding and maintenance. The England Athletics Facilities Manager Ed Hunt will join us for this session to help facilitate the discussion and answer any questions.

Theme 2: Cross Country Equal Opportunities Consultation. The recently published consultation by British Athletics has generated significant feedback so far and we know club members are keen to discuss this further and have their views put forward as part of the overall process. Dave Clarke from the London Council and Chair of Hercules Wimbledon will facilitate this breakout room and ensure feedback is submitted as part of the overall process. We would ask everyone who is interested in this session to read the statement released earlier today www.uka.org.uk/news/news-and-features/joint-statement-regarding-the-consultation-into-equal-opportunities-in-cross-country/

We aim to record the forum to ensure any key points can be followed up and the Cross Country discussion can be shared in full with British Athletics as part of the full consultation process.

Prior to the event everyone who registers will be asked to select the theme they want to discuss and they will be pre-registered into the relevant breakout room.

Any queries please let me know

Thanks

Chris
