I should like to thank Gary, the other coaches and the parents, for all the support. The results speak for themselves, especially in the track and field. A big thank you to Mandy for taking on successfully, the under eleven group, never an easy task, but made to look easy and obviously enjoyable this year.

Phil will no doubt give us a financial balance sheet, which shows the club, with the help of some sponsorship, is very healthy and proves that to run a club, it doesn't not need vast sums of money. A big thank you also to Janet and Julie for organizing our barbecue and skittles.

The athletes, I hope they have enjoyed themselves. Both coaching and watching them throughout the year has made me again very proud of their achievements and behavior both on and off the track. This was especially so at our last girls league match at High Wycombe.

Competitions this year have gone to plan with the club competing for the first time in the Hampshire cross-country and Hampshire sportshall leagues. As a result, I believe we have achieved a balanced programme of competition for our athletes. It is not proposed to enter any other team competitions. There is a proposal to merge the young athletes boys and girls competitions to-gether next year. Our Achilles heel however remains the lack of boys coming into the club. No doubt there are some obvious reasons but trying to address them presents the sport with a major problem.

The club has continued to train successfully at Applemore in the winter and Hardley in the summer. The location of our storage facility at Hardley has been delayed. However Hardley school are trying to complete this facility as soon as possible.

I have only given a brief summary of our activities. All our results are published in the local press, so keep looking out and thank you for your support.
