ERRA
WITH all the changes which are taking place in our sport recently, word that the chairman of England Athletics, John Graves, wants it known that England Athletics is now working very closely with England Road Running Association to support road runners and road running within England.
According to Christine Benning, England Athletics' sub-regional manager for the south: "They are now looking at how they can work together to influence the Road Running Leadership Group to ensure that the voices of the athletes, clubs, counties, competition providers and smaller race organisers are heard and acted upon. Anyone interested in contributing to this debate is invited to contact their regional point of contact."
For Hampshire our portfolio holder is Colin Goater, who can be contacted at: colingoater@btinternet.com
Our Sub Regional Management Group representative is John Marsh, while other regional representatives of the ERRA are Graham Jessop - grahamjessop@btinternet.com - and Colin Gostellow gostellow@ntlworld.com
Christine added: "We have also set up a South East Road Running Leadership Group to look specifically at the needs of the South East Region."
