Musings from the Chair<br />

When we were first elected, I drew up three priorities:<br />

I. Get the basics right<br />

II. Make sure the focus is nation-wide<br />

III. Be a force for good whilst racing<br />

Our focus has been on the first element, as I believe much like your running technique: if you get the key parts correct,<br />

you can then go a long way. However much like my race times I know there is still room for improvement<br />

Here are a few of our key achievements so far:<br />

- We have got the RaceTeam and UKA membership process slicker and well organised; and you have joined to<br />

increase our membership numbers.<br />

- We have chosen six diverse races for this year; and you have signed up to come and race with us.<br />

- We have supported <strong>GG</strong> taskforces in organising races, pacing and time trials locally, and you have all raced & paced<br />

across the country and world!<br />

- We have a web presence and <strong>GG</strong> members and the running community now know GoodGym has a RaceTeam that’s<br />

also promoting Getting Fit & Doing Good.<br />

The thanks for these successes should go to my committee, and the team at GoodGym HQ for helping us.<br />

What next? We intend to keep going forward, the rest of this newsletter outlines a few of the awesome opportunities that<br />

we have lined up for you, with more to announce soon, if you have any comments or suggestions I would love to discuss<br />

them with you.<br />
