MAC email / news 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.
We have now also introduced a 'Google Groups' based email & web, free subscription service. All members should receive an invitation to sign-up within the near future.

Virgin London Marathon
Sunday  25th April 2010
MAC Have been allocated 3 Club Runner entries.
These will be distributed by ballot before the evening run on Wednesday 9th December 2009.

To enter the ballot, a member must:

1. Have been a fully paid up first claim member of the club on 31^st March  2009 and remain a fully paid up member until on or after race day.

2. Provide proof that he or she submitted an entry for the race through the official entry procedure and had that entry rejected by virtue of the London Marathon race entry ballot.

3. Not have received a club entry in the club ballot for the 2009 race.

Members successful in the Club ballot will be required to accept their entry forms personally and give an assurance that they understand the rules & deadlines pertaining to the race entry requirements.

Please get your VLM Ballot rejection slips (proof of entry submission) to Gill Evans or  Dave Dando by 6:30pm on the evening of the club ballot.
Members meeting only the first two of these conditions should retain their rejection slips, as there is a (very small) chance that not all 4 places will be taken by members meeting all three.

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.

 

Members Services & Notices
As discussed at the AGM, the club want to encourage the offering and recommending of services between members. To assist this, we have provided a Members Services binder to be kept in the bookcase in the club room. This can be used to advertise things as diverse as massage, physiotherapy, household services, holidays & accommodation and other sporting events.

As space on the club room notice boards is now at a premium and required specifically at this time for the Maidenhead Easter 10, all personal items, currently occupying notice board space will be removed from the notice board and placed into the binder.

The club room notice boards are now to be used only for those items genuinely serving the club's interest. All other items will be removed.

Please check out the Members Services binder regularly and particularly when looking for a service. Personal contact and recommendation are worth a lot when investing.
