He should be seen as a very worthy winner of this race, as he has on several occasions benefited from a training grant from the Jack Bloor fund.<\/p>\n<p>The Jack Bloor Fund was established in 1985 to commemorate the life of Jack Bloor. The Fund awards grants to young sportspeople from Yorkshire who want to improve their physical and\/or technical skills in any recognised outdoor adventure sport. For example, the fund has supported individuals engaged in rock climbing, fell running, orienteering, sailing, cyclocross, kayaking and mountaineering.<\/p>\n<p>The fund supports anyone under 26 years, who lives in Yorkshire and belongs to a Yorkshire club or NSGB (National Sport Governing Body). Up to 50% of the total cost is available, with a maximum of \u00a3300.<\/p>\n<p>Examples of fund applications:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Selected for an international competition<\/li>\n<li>Want to improve their skills in the outdoors<\/li>\n<li>Training for a competition<\/li>\n<li>Embarking on an expedition<\/li>\n<li>Doing an outdoor skills course<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jackbloor.co.uk\/fund\/\">https:\/\/www.jackbloor.co.uk\/fund\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The annual Jack Bloor Races are held on Yorkshire\u2019s iconic Ilkley Moor.

This coming year is the last that I will be standing to the post of Junior coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of different strands to the work that I do for the section. I get some input from key individuals, but at the moment, the club only has one post for the whole Junior section &#8211; that could easily be changed.<\/p>\n<p>there is one, very notable exception &#8211; Club Welfare Officer is a different role. That is very ably fulfilled by Helen Elmore. Equally, that role is club wide, not just Juniors.<\/p>\n<p>If anyone wants to take on one of these aspects, that would be great.<\/p>\n<h2>Junior Coordinator<\/h2>\n<p>This is the official role that we have, in line with parent body guidance (as the minimum). everything else that gets done is in addition to this.<\/p>\n<p>The role is a club-wide committee role. The key aspect of that is gaining committee agreement to the choices that are made about the functioning of Juniors. As we have a very limited (read &#8220;non-existent&#8221;) constitution and rule book, this can take some getting to grips with. It specifically includes contact and agreement with Treasurer and (Senior) Membership Secretary. Both of whom provide great help and support in relation to their areas.<\/p>\n<p>During Covid, there has also been a huge amount of work on rules, administration, record keeping and compliance &#8211; no wine and cheese parties, or birthday cake ambushes here! Who knows what this winter will bring?  <\/p>\n<h2>Run coordination<\/h2>\n<p>By far the largest single obligation is to schedule the Sunday runs and to make sure we have enough people to lead the groups. This is a substantial undertaking in its own right.<\/p>\n<h2>Membership<\/h2>\n<p>The membership database has to be maintained and updated annually. The really critical piece here is ensuring that everybody is appropriately registered for Championship races &#8211; mistakes can cause individual&#8217;s exclusion from results; heart breaking for those involved.<\/p>\n<h2>Blog<\/h2>\n<p>The blog gets written weekly in term time. However short I think I am of material, I always seem to write more than the minimum.<\/p>\n<h2>Results<\/h2>\n<p>Now that racing is picking up again, the results is a significant role that really could do with a dedicated &#8220;Junior statistician&#8221;. The club routine is to record all Fell race results run by registered club members. Junior races fall to the Junior Section to administer.<\/p>\n<p>Someone with responsibility for just this, would be a great gift to the club.<\/p>\n<h2>Next term<\/h2>\n<p>we&#8217;ve some volunteers for next term, but please sign up via <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1MdUNOkxpjOYS490GB4dx70uV7JlZUhGuKzi0xFSADdw\/edit#gid=0\">this sheet<\/a> to what you can lead, or support.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Date<\/th>\n<th>Location<\/th>\n<th>U11<\/th>\n<th>O11<\/th>\n<th>Comments<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>12-Jun<\/td>\n<td>Odin Mine<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>19-Jun<\/td>\n<td>Sir William Hill \/ Eyam Moor<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Graham C<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>26-Jun<\/td>\n<td>No Run<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>BG weekend.
