Welcome to the website for the Gloucestershire Amateur Athletic Association (GAAA).

 GAAA  is a voluntary association of all the county's athletic clubs. All its officers are volunteers and come from the clubs.

The  Association seeks to promote and support all branches of athletics within Gloucestershire but to do this needs help from other volunteers. If your child or partner enjoys the events we promote please contact us to offer help. Without such volunteers the events will not happen. Volunteering is fun and not onerous. We need more helpers. Please see the copy of an email sent to all GAAA contacts below.

Hi,

Please note that I made an error in my last email. The AGM is on Friday November 15th not 14th.

I had checked the date in the last committee minutes so that must have been a typing error. It is easy to make such an error when taking on so many roles within the association. It shows the need for more people to become involved.

I will be giving my apologies to the meeting as I am representing England Masters in Belfast on the 16th November.  I am planning on focusing more on my running and on coaching and therefore will not be taking on the  role of Cross Country Secretary. Should no one volunteer - ideally at the AGM -  but definitely by May 25 there is not going to be a Gloucestershire CC League. That will affect our income and in turn the affiliation fee and the way we can fund other activities such as the road running championships and road race series.

I am happy to continue as webmaster but would love some one to take over as Secretary and to coordinate the track and field championship. I would not be disappointed if there was a volunteer to be Chair but if it seems likely that we can continue to  find volunteers to join working groups to organise events will continue.

Arthur
