14 June 2011	HIGHLAND GAMES DECATHLON. Members will note that this  neuvo to the world event has been proposed and thought up by me and was due to take place in 2012,- at our new base in Derby. This event however has only received a few enquiries and so in consultation with experts of Scottish events within the membership I have decided to delay its introduction until at least 2015. This will allow a number of things to happen: 1). We will have settled in to our new base in Derby. 2). Members can in conversation with colleagues who are members or who may not be members,- curry support for the event,- remembering that your chairman would like a minimum of 20 competitors each time the event takes place. 3). Allow members to show greater support by competing at our annual HIGHLAND GAMES,- should they wish and in so doing foster greater interest nationwide. Also,- and this will need to be understood by all is the question of prize-money. These HIGHLAND GAMES type events take place now all over the UK, Europe and the US  and so on,- some offer prize-money for some of the events some do not. If we were to offer prize money for some of the events then more interest may be generated BUT this would in all likelyhood mean each competitor paying an extra £10+ to cover prize-money,- awarded to a few. The original mission of MMTG-to foster athletic throws competition of all types (that exist in the world) here in the Midlands is and has been acheived and is ongoing. We are alligned to the WTC and currently the WTC events do not pay prize-money,- although as stated earlier some Scottish type gatherings do. Being an organisation that offers all the throws that exist in the world,-I have in my position of vice-president of the WTC consulted with the president of the WTC on the prize-money issue for Highland Games events organised by MMTG and we are in accord in that we do not pay prize-money. Hopefully in the future 'broken Britain' will recover and extra fees (this is another issue affecting our decision) will not be considered too much of a burden and prize-money for HIGHLAND GAMES type events under the MMTG banner may be paid BUT I restate that for the foreseeable future it IS NOT the policy of MMTG to pay any form of prize-money.
05 April 2011	STAYING OVERNIGHT AT DERBY PRIOR TO COMPETITIONS. For members who may wish to avail themselves of an overnight(s) stay at our new base in Derby,- prior to current and future competitions at MOORWAYS,-I would like to bring to the attention of members- the following hotels. The first is located 'two streets' away (<0.6 Miles) from the stadium and my wife and I have always found them to be of good quality and reasonably priced. (Members may know if you book in advance you can get really good deals at these hotels). HOTELS: Premier Inn-Derby South-DE23 8AG PHONE#0871-527-8296; Derby East-DE21 6BF PHONE#0870-238-3313; Derby North West-DE22 4LZ PHONE#0870-990-6606.  I am in the process in trying to negotiate on members behalves,-further discounts and if successful will report facts of same in due course.
03 March 2011	I would like to thank all members who have purchased a lottery ball. As a result we are now able to purchase a suitable container,- we have sold 48-50 balls and so we are unable to pay a bonus. Our partial (and full move next year) move to DERBY will go ahead. Please:- a). Buy a lottery ball if you said you would.             b). Keep up to date with website and submission of                 entry forms,- an entry policy exists and I do not                 wish to offend anyone! Finally, I was asked by a few people at the meeting in London last weekend about 'The MMTG HIGHLAND Games Decathlon'. As a result I will organize in 2012 ( and even numbered years thereafter) this meeting,- instead of the Midland HIGHLAND Games,- which obviously now will be in the odd numbered years.
24 Feb 2011	SINCERE APOLOGIES YET AGAIN TO MEMBERS! Due to overbooking at one of our venues I have had to change the dates of two of our fixtures. Giving members what they want in the transition period with our change of base has not been plane sailing and has generated a lot of work for me,- even more than I normally do!! So please understand I have avoided 'County Champs-W.End' and done as much as I can to minimize the impact on members competition schedule. Fixtures List 2010-2011 (Unquote) is appended to entry of  07 FEB 2011 On reading this please let members know whom you know may not be keeping an eye on the website.
21 Jan 2011	WILL ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ AND ACT ACCORDINGLY. Members will be pleased to note that negotiations are well on the way regarding a full or partial move of base for our competitions. Full information in due course. Purchase of freight container for storage of MMTG equipment. For a 'Full' move in the short term we will require the storage container I have mentioned to members in the past. The only thing is as well as having to put entry fees up by £5 for meetings after April 2011 to hopefully cover increased stadia hire costs,- a container such as is required by us looks even further in the distance, at our new base. Solution to the problem!? Members will know that we run a lottery. It has run since 2007 and was due to wind up in April 2011. It has helped us greatly in the past but (as is your want) it has not been supported by all members. What I would like to ask is for all members (plus members of MMTG members family circles if they wish) to buy a lottery ball price £24 (£2 a month) from this April (for draws from May 2011 to April 2012),- so that I can purchase such a container to store MMTG equipment. This would be a one off. The lottery would then probably be wound up in April 2012 and not this year as planned. Twelve of you would get your money back and any surplus would go into funds. This I hope will appeal to you all regardless of what you think of lotteries. From members own comments you will not only be getting as well as the quality and variety,- also standard of competition unequaled in the UK- but a venue where the throwing areas are as good as they get in the UK. Only I as senior British (UKA) hammer coach will have to venture forth on ' dog s*** alley'. Finally, it may interest you to know that Les Middleton (Grahams Dad), named the training area at N.Wood as 'The S***ery' a few years ago and that with your support the venue although it has served us well will soon become MMTG history. I hope you will all support this initiative. Please e-mail me or phone me and start sending me your lottery cheques now and I will do the rest. We need to sell about 75 to 80 balls to buy the container and pay the prize money.
18 Jan 2011	I thought I had (perhaps I ought to take a little more water with it?) informed members last April under the title 'Local Hubs given another airing' of the procedures for the same and that this was on the website. Well it does not seem to be. This is now rectified here. Apologies!    Click Here  .
14 Dec. 2010	Members may be pleased to note that your Chairman, Secretary and Organizer-Clive HOWELL,  has been appointed to the position of Vice-President of the WTC.(World Throwers Club),- with effect from 10 December 2010. I am pleased to be appointed but can assure members that the MMTG will still take up a lot of my time- providing the variety and quality of competitive events MMTG is renowned for. Also members can be certain that as VP of the World Regulatory body I will still forward the aims of MMTG,- as when I set it up in 2005- on into the foreseeable future.
23 Sept. 2010	FIXTURE LIST 2010-2011. Please note that all fixtures during this season will be on a SATURDAY- apart from the 15th. MAY. This is a SUNDAY BUT at present is provisional. The fixture list will be up-dated when I have the final O'K from our hosts.
