October 2007: Details
of club subscription fees effective from November 2007 are now
available. Membership fees remain unaltered but facility fees will now be incorporated into members annual subscriptions for ease of collection. For fairness, distinctions have been made between track and road running categories which has inevitably led to more classes of membership. A new 'Supporter' category has also been created for
non-participating members. The facility charge for 2007/08 has been kept to an absolute minimum due to the following factors:-
|
| Wednesday 3rd October 2007: The LWAC Annual General Meeting will take place on Monday 12th November at Our Lady's Church Hall in Ermine, starting at 7.30pm. All proposals must be given to Darrell Helas in writing by Tuesday 16th October. |
