MAC
email Facility
As many of you are now aware, sending news frequently & directly
to members via email became problematic to the point of being
impracticable.
To address this, we have been providing regularly
updated club news on this page on the club website and encouraging all
member to visit as frequently as possible.
Very soon however, we will also be introducing a 'Google Groups' based
email subscription service, whereby members can opt-in to receive club news via
email sent via the facility. Invitations to subscribe (free!) will be sent out
within the next month.
Permit
Parking at Braywick
The car park
directly opposite our clubhouse, together with the two other car parks
adjacent to the Rugby Club are now designated 'Permit Parking Only' areas.
Permits are available at the club house for all paid-up MAC senior members and the parents of junior members.
Please see Sue Leigh, John Rickman or Dave Dando at any junior or senior
session meeting time.
The objective of this measure is to preserve as much parking space as possible for resident club members and force casual users to use the bigger main car park to the right of the park entrance.
However, as there will be more permits issued than permit only places available, a permit does not guarantee a parking place.
The WAMDSAD car park remains exclusively for the use of WAMDSAD members.
Enforcement, with fixed penalties for those not displaying permits has now begun.
Athlete
Affiliation
The Athlete Affiliation requirement, introduced by England
Athletics in 2007, potentially affects ALL our members. For more
information please download our
Questions and Answers
document.
Affiliation for year 1/4/2009-31/3/2010 is now complete. Those members
who have requested affiliation should receive their cards soon. In the
meantime, URNs (affiliation numbers) are available from MAC Membership
Secretary, John Rickman.
We are finding that more and more road race online & paper entry
forms are insisting on an affiliation number being specified in order to
attract the associated discount and recognition of club membership. All
members who regularly enter UKA licensed races should now consider this
option.

England Athletics have named Maidenhead Athletic Club 'South East Club - Community Partnership Award' winners for 2009. This is a highly prized award, as there are over 200 affiliated athletics clubs in the South-East region.
Clubhouse
Update
Following even more hard graft by Mick Fursedon & his team, the new
clubhouse is now well appointed and serving our needs well. In the near
future, a cooker, flat screen television and changing room lockers will
installed, together with improved signage.
The living and learning process has however predictably thrown up a few
issues, notably relating to security.
Over the past couple of weeks, there have been several instances of park
users wandering into to the clubhouse to use the toilets. This must be
discouraged, as our toilets are part of our changing areas, where
at any time, there could be juniors and / or personal possessions. We
have agreed with the Bodyzone Gym, that we will ensure that the public
toilets (on the Astroturf side of the building) will be opened whenever
they or we are open and closed at other times, particularly overnight.
There is a key to the public toilets in the key safe next to the large
storeroom door. We also need to ensure that the clubhouse is locked and
made secure when we leave. Garry Jeffries will provide a key for copying
to any (paid-up!) members needing access, and Garry has also put up a
notice containing 'Last Person to Leave' instructions. All members are
asked to familiarise themselves with these.
It has also become apparent that members without keys can be inadvertently
locked-in! To address this, a main door key has been left behind the picture in
the office. This should only be used in an emergency and returned to its place
immediately after use.
