POLICY DATED: 28 APRIL 2010

MMTG Local Hubs.

These were invented and instigated by the current secretary
in 2007,- have been mentioned since and described at MMTG AGMS.-since early 2007.
The purpose of these hubs is so that members (a member you will recall must be 18+ years of age) can practice with others,- events usually of the multi-throws type, which are a major feature of MMTG competitions. For under 19’s,- both Men and Women should be supervised and led by an MMTG member. It is assumed that this supervisor is also qualified and is CRB checked. MMTG you will understand, cannot really be involved if this current UK legislation is not adhered to. Provided it is then as now the idea is that these events can be used just for fun and to practice technique. Competitions which are organised at local hubs,- not being MMTG Championships can have four to six throws and any records at MMTG club and British level will be ratified by MMTG,- provided that:
* Overall supervision and control is by a paid up member.
* The conditions regarding CRB checks are followed.
* A qualified field judge at grade3/level3 (or above) is present to check the correct procedures are being followed and to take charge of any such competition in so far as judging is concerned.
* The results of any such competition are submitted to the secretary a reasonable time (usually one week) afterwards with the date, venue and results and the name, grade and county/area association of the supervising field judge present.
By giving MMTG local hubs an airing again it is hoped this will encourage athletes young and not so young to practice throwing of the multi-throws type and in so doing enable our ranks to flourish and to provide the Masters Throws athletes of the future.

IMPORTANT SUPPLEMENT TO THE ABOVE, SEE BELOW EFFECTIVE: 22 NOVEMBER 2011

Members will please avail themselves of the above method of practising our sport.
You should use the procedures as guidelines BUT failure to do so- be warned may involve you (should you be unlucky!) in you not being insured with possible consequences. MMTG recommends this method but no one in anyway connected with MMTG (other than the member or members concerned) shall be held accountable in the case of an accident and possible resulting litigation. This applies even when the instructions are followed as they must be ! From 22 November 2011, I have decided that the concept is as originally intended,- that is to practice our sport and for fun.
As of this date I will no longer receive or expect to receive results of any such competition. The results will no longer be considered as any form of record either as club or higher level record.
The original concept of practice and fun still remains. Any ‘competitions’ are local and only significant as far as MMTG is concerned when they enhance a members enthusiasm and participation in our sport.

MMTG Statement of policy- in force from 22 MARCH 2010 (THIS IS A PERMANENT ARRANGEMENT).

ENTRY FORMS.
****PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND FULLY****
              (PLEASE READ SUPPLEMENT AT FOOT OF PAGE: 02.01.12)
Entry forms have a closing date and a no late entries statement.
The reason for this is obvious,- generation of result sheets, allocation of medals,- putting the competing athlete on lists (or in pools),- the set up for the meeting etc. cannot take place for the meeting without the form and it is this that creates the need for the entry form to be in on time.
FROM THE ABOVE DATE ENQUIRIES AFTER THE CUT OFF DATE WILL BE REFUSED.
MMTG members are important to us all BUT so are the officers who run and organise the various meetings.
MMTG policy from now on recognises (as will members) the importance (and time required) to organise meetings. Any arrangements made with members or others prior to the cut off date by the current or future secretary will still be honoured,-HOWEVER-this policy statement should be read as a means to encourage ALL members who have not supplied the required entry form**by the cut off date or who do not have a prior arrangement to read this MMTG policy statement –BLUNTLY SPEAKING-you should comply with entry requirements or- YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO COMPETE AT THE MEETING.
