Over 80 members of the British Athletics Supporters Club and their guests met up for the 2008 Members' Dinner at The Great Barr Hotel in Birmingham during the Olympic Trials. Judging by the feedback we have received from those who were there, it appears to have been a great success and we are already giving thought to the next one!
There are some thank yous due on behalf of the committee:
Ian Stewart MBE
Ian was kind enough to attend our dinner in spite of the fact that he only flew back into the country that morning from the Golden League meeting in Rome the night before and was then plunged straight back into the usual hurlyburly of trials weekend. He provided us with an informative and insightful question and answer session about current topics in British athletics and the ins-and-outs of putting on top-class track and field meetings, and we thank him immensely for attending.
Eric Thompson
Despite serious ill heath in the days leading up to it, Eric passed a late fitness test on the morning of the dinner and was still able to be present and to play his usual pivotal role in hosting the event into which he had put so much time and effort. Thank you Eric for making it such a success.
BASC members
We are delighted at the way in which members have supported the Members' Dinners that have been staged to date and, as long as you continue to support them in this way, we will be happy to continue to stage them.
