RACE NIGHT and Finger Buffet

Tickets Andy Fox 626415
Hi Everyone,
Please find attached details of the meeting we held recently and the pics/film showed at the last meeting. In addition we have a poster for our forthcoming fund raiser Wacky Races 2.
The IGAM meeting last week made it clear the Games will be expensive:-
 
* You need to be aware that if we can get the cost to £400 to £450 we will have done well (even if staying in a school and sleeping on airbeds!!). As such supporting the fundraising events is vital. So get yourselves, and friends and family to the Race night on 13/11/08 (details above).
 

* We now have to produce a medal target. I do not really want to do this but the Sports Council want it. I have to add more detail to our preparation plans including targets etc. This could go so far as to mean training plans for individuals also. If it goes this far I will be in touch. Sports council have committed £40,000 to the Manx Island Games team (all sports) with an extra £20,000 to be shared by the sports that do as they ask regarding paperwork etc. I will obviously do this to get the extra cash and keep the price down. There was a lot of discussion on this topic at the meeting.

I am afraid I cannot tell you much more as little more is known. Hope you find the above useful.
Keep training and keep fit and healthy,

 
Andy

Note:-

 these times are guidelines and not standards. As such, failure to achieve the main guideline should not necessarily prevent selection if an athlete is consistently performing close to the guideline level. Equally, a “one-off” performance superior to the main guideline, should not guarantee selection if other criteria stated below are not  met.

Other criteria :-

* Achievement of the Guideline.

* Demonstrated commitment to achieve the guideline and perform well at the games evidence - regular training (evidence given to team manager eg. schedules/training logs), involvement in team preparations eg. fund raising etc.

* Competing for your club on a regular basis over 2008 and 2009.

* Supporting local events where you can eg. IOM T&F Champs. 2008.

* Behaviour and conduct at previous games.

We would rather see a hard working athlete striving to achieve goals (and in so doing be a great role model to others) selected ahead of one who is showing little commitment and offers very little back to the sport.

Team Events.

In relays and the half marathon competitors should not be taken to “make up the team”. They should be selected in their own right ie. they should be capable of selection as individual competitors and not merely as team members.

Development Guideline.

This guideline is aimed at young athletes under the age of 20 at 31/08/09 or those who are later starters/developers in the sport and have not competed in the games before. If athletes have attained this guideline before they will be expected to have progressed.

All performances will be considered as from January 2008.

Keep Andy Fox informed of your performances on 626415 or a.c.fox@snhs.sch.im

The IOM AA Statistician is Bernie Shimell - contact 01624 623582 or dishimell@manx.net

GOOD LUCK
