Whilst we have a few athletes out enjoying the sunshine in Australia, we have 32 running tomorrow (Sun 30 Oct) in the Fenland 10 (EMAC Road Championship Race). Good luck to all. You don’t have to run in an EMAC vest but it would be good to see some. (I have a dilemma because it’s also a club championship race for my 1st claim and they try to insist we wear their club vest – might have a change half way round!) We will have…

I thought the members might be interested to see the report of two EAMA meetings (Lee Valley February 2016 and Solihull July 2016) written by Arthur Kimber, T&F Sec, EAMA and so I have pasted it here.
Way back in June we advised members of the selection process to represent your Country (England Athletics Masters Association) for the 2016 Cross Country event which will be held at Tollcross Park, Glasgow on Saturday 12 November 2016.
