3. Matters Arising from the Minutes
Dealt with under subsequent headings.

4. Correspondence
a) M Lamb has discovered that the list of affiliated clubs in both Greater Manchester and Merseyside
both include 2 clubs which we claim are in Cheshire. EA’s County list also disagrees with ours. Our definition is based in the County residence of the Secretary.  I had planned to raise this matter with Sarah Friday tomorrow when she visits Widnes, but since she is not now coming I will e mail her. 
It’s clearly EA’s job to sort this out.
b) On 28.8.10 Sarah Friday e mailed to remind everyone that there were 2 weeks left to nominate persons for NW Awards. I am not aware of nominations made.
c) Entry forms for the English Road Running Association Road Relays to be held on 16/17.10.10 at Sutton Park, Sutton Coldfield. Closing date is 30.9.10. Cheshire clubs were advised.
d) E mail from Shelley Holroyd of EA seeking clubs to get involved in coaching disabled athletes.
