Re-organisation of England Athletics.
The new proposals were unanimously rejected by clubs at the  meeting held in London on Weds 30th January with 91.7% voting against change to Regional Councils..
EA Statement: From Friday 1st February we will launch a process of elections to the Regional Councils by inviting interested parties to put themselves forward. We will look to reinstate the West Midlands Regional Council in order to give the region a separate voice in our democratic structure but only if the required number of people stand for election to meet the minimum requirement (quorum), which currently stands at three. Should insufficient nominations be received for the West Midlands area, the number of Regional Councils will remain at eight.
