John Cronin, President, Athletics Ireland and Hamish Adams, CEO, Athletics Ireland have accepted an invitation to attend Cork Athletics County Board's Monthly meeting, on Wednesday May 11th, at MTU Track
Pat Walsh, Acting Chairman of Cork County Board has said that the portion of the meeting allocated to the Board's AAI Guests will, of necessity, be limited to 45 minutes maximum, as there is a considerable amount of 'normal business' to be discussed, along with the remaining/upcoming Juvenile T&F Championships, the Evening T&F Meets (incorporating the County Junior, Senior & Masters Championships), the Board's involvement in Stewarding 3 sections of the Cork City Marathon, and planning for September's Women's Mini-Marathon...to list just some of the items
Footnote Re:Stewards for Cork City Marathon
Several clubs and individuals have responded to Pat Walsh's call for Stewards for the Cork City Marathon, on Sunday June 5th, however we are still considerably short of our requirements. Cork Athletics manages and stewards some 60% of the course, from the Start Line to Tivoli (0 to 5 Miles), then from the Marina to the Finish line (15 Miles to 26.2 Miles), incorporating the Victoria Road and Model Farm Road relay changeover stations, and all road junctions along those sections. Effectively, the County Board covers Relay Legs 1, 4 and 5
Incentive to Clubs Providing Stewards for Marathon
Cork Athletics expects to need about 105 stewards, to cover its areas of responsibility in the Marathon. For the more recent live Cork City Marathons, we were about 20 people short. Consequently, Cork County Board has decided to offer member clubs a financial fundraising incentive, similar to that of the Grant Thornton, for each steward that a club provides
The Board receives payment for it's Stewarding, and management of it's sections, from Cork City Marathon. This, along with similar fees for events such as the Grant Thornton 5k, and revenue from the Mini-Marathon, are the Board's 'Life-Blood', providing much needed funds for all it's activities, including providing travel and subsistence payments for County Juvenile, Senior and masters representative teams.

It is obviously in every clubs' interests to help generate these funds, by providing stewards.
