At the Calderglen Harriers AGM on 9th December 2021 a motion in writing proposed that the Monday and Thursday training times be changed to 7pm from 7.30pm. There was some discussion on this matter and it was agreed by a vote of 12 to 6 to change the time for a 3 month trial period starting in January 2022. This was to be reviewed after 3 months with the main criteria for review to be based on whether there was an increase in the number of Harriers attending on a Monday and Thursday night.
This Committee met on 14th March 2022 to discuss this matter.
The Committee understands individual’s wishes for an earlier start time and respects the reasons for the proposed change. The Committee also note that where all members were able to attend at 7.30pm there are some that simply cannot arrive any earlier and have been unable to attend during the trial period.
It is the responsibility of the Committee to ensure that any decisions taken put the interests of Calderglen Harriers first. The club’s greatest asset is its members and there is a concern that the club could lose members if they are unable to meet at the earlier starting time.
This is considered too big a risk to take.
The Committee has therefore decided that after the trial period ends the starting time will revert back to 7.30pm on Monday and Thursday training nights.
This will take effect from Monday 4th April 2022.
Anyone wanting further explanation of this should direct their questions to any of the executive committee (Anne, Frances, Russell) and not on the whatsapp group chat.
