England Masters Annual General Meeting
2026-04-15 19:00 - 20:00
A note from EMAA
In preparation of the Annual General Meeting to be held on Wednesday, 15 April at 7.00pm via Zoom, please find attached the following documents:

Agenda
Minutes of the previous AGM held on 25th April 2025
Reports from Officers (to follow)
Scrutineered Accounts for the financial year ending 31 December 2025 (to follow)
Proposed draft revised EMAA Constitution with Explanatory Notes and Current Constitution date February 2017

The Committee is keen to engage with the wider membership and to attract additional support from members who are interested in joining the EMAA committee to assist in the work of the Association in promoting Masters athletics and organising competition.
The AGM will include an overview by Chris Jones, the CEO of England Athletics on how England Athletics and EMAA can work together more closely to support masters’ athletics. It also includes a proposal to adopt a revised Constitution, which updates the current Constitution dated February 2017t and addresses and clarifies various issues. Please see the attached explanatory note which details the proposed changes. If you have any comments or queries regard these proposed changes prior to the AGM, please could you email Sue Cordingley.
There are a number of vacancies on the Committee (officer appointments are on an initial one-year basis). The Committee consists of:

Chair
Vice Chair
Secretary
Treasurer
Endurance Secretary (includes Cross Country and Road Running)
Track & Field Secretary
England Team Manager (s)
Member Engagement/Social Media Officer
Website Manager

A number of individuals have already offered to put themselves forward for consideration for officer roles for the forthcoming year. These include:

Steve Watmough (Chair)
Sue Cordingley (Secretary or Vice Chair)
John Borgars (Treasurer)
Carey Hollick (Track & Field Secretary)
Roland Gibbard (Endurance Team Manager)
Maurice Hemingway (Website Manager)

Whilst there is an existing and willing team, we do need more support if we are to really develop the potential for England Masters events and representative opportunities, and also to work with England Athletics to promote master’s competition. One absolutely critical role which needs filling is that of Member Engagement/Social Media officer. This would help us to build a much stronger way to engage as a community throughout the year. If you are interested and willing to get involved via this or any other role then please inform your masters area club secretary at least 48 hours in advance of the AGM, and they will be able to endorse your interest and support it at the AGM. Any current member of an England Masters Club is eligible to apply for join the Committee.
Each of the England Masters Clubs can nominate two representatives to vote at the AGM and all members of England Masters Clubs are welcome to attend.
