Proposed New IOMAA Structure

Posted on By Anthony Brand

Ahead of the IOM Athletics Association (IOMAA) EGM on Monday 23rd January 2017 (to be held at The Hydro Hotel, Queens Promenade, Douglas. Commencing at 7pm ) the current IOMAA committee felt it would be useful to share the new proposed structure for the IOMAA.

If you are interested in any of the roles and would like to know more please email chairman@iomaa.info.

If we can find enough volunteers we are confident that the time commitment for each individual will average no more than 2 hours per week, can you spare 2 hours each week to help ensure that our sport is the best it can be? Parents, athletes, coaches and officials we need your support….. we hope to see you at The Hydro Hotel on Monday.

Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

Posted on By Anthony Brand

An Extraordinary General Meeting of the Isle of Man Athletics Association has been arranged.

Date:  Monday 23rd January 2017

Time:  7pm

Venue:  Hydro Hotel, Queens Promenade, Douglas

Statement:

Following a very disappointing attendance at the IOMAA AGM it was agreed the meeting would be adjourned and an EGM would be scheduled early 2017.

As it stands, there is not enough support for the IOMAA to continue. Unless volunteers step forward at this EGM to offer some of their time to help lighten the load on the existing volunteers the IOMAA will be dissolved.

Whilst the Islands athletics clubs will no doubt continue their great work, they will have to do so without funding support from IOM Sport. There will be many other consequences to the IOM Athletics Association being dissolved and there is an inevitability that opportunities for our athletes will be affected.

If enough people volunteer a little of their time to help our sport will continue to flourish.

Wanted: Athletics Team Official(s) for the Commonwealth Youth Games Samoa 2015

Posted on By Anthony Brand

The IOMAA is seeking a Team Official (possibly one male and one female) to accompany the small number of 16 and 17 year old athletes we hope to send to Samoa, for the Commonwealth Youth Games this September.

This is not a coaching role – we are seeking mature individuals who will be required to look after young athletes far from home, and who are able to ensure everything is done to make the athletes’ experience of the Games as enjoyable and trouble-free as possible.

Anyone interested in taking on this very important role for the duration of the Games, from September 1st to September 14th 2015, is asked to contact the IOMAA Chairman on mail@iomaa.info , with a brief cv and application (no more than 200 words) outlining what relevant experience you have and what you could bring to the role.

The closing date for expressions of interest is Friday 20th February.
