Chairman’s report
Mel James addressed the meeting, and considered that the 2009 season was another successful year for the association, and looked forward to this success to continue in 2010. Recruitment and retention of WMAA members continue to be strong, even through the other British Masters Athletic associations have declining numbers. There are no BMAF events for the WMAA committee to organise during 2010, and the committee support is not required for the BMAF Track and Field Championships to be held at Leckwith Stadium, Cardiff on 3-4 July 2010.During 2010, the chairman considered that greater focus should be given in improving the communication with the membership through the WMAA web site, and invites members to participate in providing information and articles to ensure that the web sight remains fresh and current.
Action
Committee members are encouraged to provide regular updates for the web site, and also promote the use of the web site by members for publishing appropriate information and articles.

Matters arising
Minutes of September 09 meeting were accepted as a true record, minor name corrections were identified and addressed.
Actions from previous minutes have been captured in Action Record sheet at annex A.
X-country International.Team has now been selected for the 2009 event.The WMAA will be responsible for organising the event for 2013.Proposed venue maybe in North Wales.
AAW have raised question regarding Masters Athletes representing their Country having to be affiliated to the AAW.The committee considered that the AAW over the years have slowly relinquished its ties with the WMAA, allowing the association to operate independently in the promotion of Masters athletics in Wales.For this reason, at this stage it is considered unnecessary for those selected for the x-country international to be affiliated to the AAW as well as the WMAA.However, this brings into question the wide issue of the relationship between the WMAA and AAW.
Action
Brian Williamson to write to AAW to establish the WMAA coming back under the umbrella of AAW and arrange a meeting to discuss what we can offer as an association, and the way ahead.
Social Event. Currently 48 members have committed to the social event at Aberdare Hall on the 27th Nov 09. An initial invoice has been received, although the caterers have to be advised of the exact numbers attending by 18 Nov.
(Sec note: final numbers attending 58)
Action
Committee members were asked to promote the social event in their own clubs.
Constitutional matters.There was significant debate in the committee over the selection of athletes for representative events.The constitution currently stipulates that only those athletes that are affiliated to the WMAA can be selected to represent the association in representative meetings.It was considered by some of the committee that this disbars Athletes born in Wales from representing their country, even though they may be a member of another masters association.On the other hand there is the position that the WMAA tend to organise and fund the events without AAW support, and therefore the representation could be classed as a WMAA representative event and not an AAW representative event.
Action
It was considered that the constitution can not be changed until the AGM and any proposal for changes should be duly considered in the mean time and submitted as a constitutional change proposal at the next AGM.

Welsh Masters Autumn Report
We are still trying to recover from the sad loss of Mary Webb, her contribution to our track and field will be sorely missed. On a lighter note, the social night for WMAA, which Mary annually organised is still going ahead on the 27th Nov, organised by her daughter Sue.
Our membership is still growing and next year we have introduced a system where by paying subscriptions before March, there is a saving of £2.50 off the £15.00 annual fee.
On a competitive note, we are having our Cross country Champs at the Royal Welsh show ground (Builth Wells) on Dec 13th.
Two other dates are the Old Father Tyme race, a five mile road race on the 3rd Jan 2010, from Llandaff Rugby Club, Cardiff, which is open to all Masters and incorporates the WMAA Championships (Details of this race are on our web site and in the fixtures section of our magazine).The other race is open to all masters is a cross country event at Cardiff castle grounds on January 17th as part of the Cardiff Cross series.
We successfully held our track and field championships at the new Cardiff stadium on Aug 2nd and then went on to field a team in the inter-regional competition at Solihull.Our cross country team are looking forward to competing in the forthcoming international at Birmingham.
One of our members, Jeff Aston a statistician (he has completed every London marathon), has asked for backing from BMAF, to ask the London marathon to review the good for age entries.
At the present time we are enjoying our master’s athletics and are looking forward to future events.
The AGM was held on August 2nd at Cardiff Internation Sports Stadium, after the championships had finished, and did attract a few new faces who other wise may not have been able to attend.
Before the meeting started Brian (Williamson) said a few words about the great void Mary has left and will be dearly missed by all, reminding us that the track/field evening meetings & championships would not be here if not for here hard work and dedication.
Apologies for absence were given (Ken Bray, Darryn McAtee & John Collins) The minutes from last years AGM were adopted. Reports were given by the Chairman, Secretary, & Membership Secretary.
Officers were appointed for the next 12 months: President John Davies Chairman Mel James Secretary Brian Williamson Treasurer Ken Bray Membership Sue Hooper Minutes Rob Hooper Officials Sue Hooper & John Townsend (?) BMAF rep Mel James, Brian Williamson & Steve Spires Co-ordinators Sue Hooper & Brian Williamson (T/F), Mel James (Road) ,John Collins(Cross Country). AAW rep Brian Williamson
After much discussion it was passed that the membership fee be altered for 2010. It will be increased by 50p (£12.50) to co-inside with the increase we have to pay to the BMAF for each member. As all members are awear the membership is from 1st January of each year, but we still have members who pay late, putting more work onto the membership secretary. Again after discussion it was proposed that if members pay late, after 1st March, the fee will be £15.00. This was accepted by all at the AGM.
Membership Fees for 2010 £12.50 1st January-31st December £15.00 If paid after the 1st March (still only valid until 31st Dec) If any member is interested in paying by DD or SO please let Sue know.
Jon Powell asked if we could look into having the Championships on a Saturday. The website is also being upgraded, so please let me (Sue) have items to put onto it.

Chairman’s report
At European level, the proposal that the Masters commencement age for Fell and X-country of 40 (Female/Male) has now been sanctioned.This has not yet filtered into BMAF or Welsh Masters competition requirements, and would require constitutional changes for both associations.
