AGM 2010

The Annual General Meeting of Abergele Harriers was held on

Sunday 9th May at 7.30 in the Community House in Kinmel Bay. 

On Sunday Abergele Harriers held their AGM reflecting on a mixed year for the club that saw the men’s Cross Country and Borders League teams being relegated from their respective first divisions, while the ladies made massive progress in both disciplines, gaining promotion in the Borders League. Financially the club is still in a very strong position and the club’s annual race, The Abergele 5, in November was once again a fantastic success. A new Committee was elected, with a number of new faces joining the group. Lucy Jones and Cheryl Richards are jointly taking over as Membership Secretaries while Christobelle Pownall and Dominique Jones are jointly taking over the Social Secretary role. Jeni Richards is not only taking over as the club’s new Press Secretary but she is also taking over as Vice-Captain. The following members were re-elected to maintain their previous roles; Geran Hughes; Chairman, Alan Lucas; Vice-Chairman, Sean McCormack; Secretary, Race Director and Welfare Officer, Matthew Ashton; Treasurer, Darren Blazier; Club Captain and Borders League Manager, and Sue Calvert; Cross Country Manager. Mike Nolan agreed to continue is his role as President and congratulated everyone for their hard work all year.

Alan Lucas was elected as a Life Member of the club in recognition of his efforts both in racing and behind the scenes.

Sean McCormack,

Hon. Club Secretary.

A.G.M. 2009

The Annual General Meeting of Abergele Harriers was held on

Sunday 1st March at 7.00pm in the Bee Hotel, Market Street, Abergele.

Darren Blazier became Abergele Harriers’ new Club Captain at the club’s AGM on Sunday. Darren, who has been with the club for about ten years, has been the Harriers leading road runner for most of that time. He has also been the Borders League Captain and Manager since the club first entered the league over seven years ago, coming home as first Harrier in more league races in the club’s history than all other Harriers put together. Geran Hughes, the outgoing Captain, had handed in his mandatory retirement after completing three years at the top, and was immediately elected the latest Club Chairman. During Hughes’ reign the club had grown into a force throughout Wales, having won National titles on the road and in the country. From an individual point of view Hughes had won International honours on the fells and on the country, as well as winning a Welsh title on the track. Alan Lucas, who recently won the North Wales Half-Marathon MV65 title, had retired from the Chairman’s post after his three years was completed , but was elected Vice-Chairman, where he will support Hughes in his new post. Sean McCormack took over from his wife, Majella as club Secretary, Majella having actually completed a very successful five years in the post, helping to lead the club through the difficult times as well as the good. Majella will remain on the Committee, while Matthew Ashton (Treasurer) and Robert Spotswood (Social Secretary) had not completed their full tenure and were able to continue in their posts for another year. Jaime Ashton was elected Membership Secretary, taking over from Angella Hughes who’s excellent work over the last three years had seen a huge increase in the club’s membership. Stephen McCarten who has served the Club for many years is several different capacities decided to simply become a member of the Race Committee on this occasion, where his knowledge and experience will be invaluable. New committee members included Dave Edwards and Haydn Jones, both elected to the Race Committee and Sue Calvert who was elected Cross Country Manager, hoping to lead the ladies team back to the top division next season. Also new to the Committee were Keith Elliott and Meinir Huws, while retiring Membership Secretary Angella Hughes will remain as a committee member. Club Life President Mike Nolan thanked all the outgoing Committee for their hard work and welcomed the new committee, urging the club to continue forward in the same vain towards a very successful future.
