P LANNING I SSUES + & 
Coordinating both internal and external officials is
very time consuming and may need to be done
further in advance next year.

Personal Selling helped to get the Quadrathlon Name
out at Track & Field events

Deliveries of equipment will need to be delivered to
another address next year.

Website - information including published entry lists,
entry form, poster etc... Provided useful tool for
athletes.
E VENT D AY I SSUES + & 
Scripted races ensured track events could progress
smoothly.

Time keepers wanted to change the script to have 6
athletes in races rather than 8 which was an issue. This was
not an option as it would have put all the race timings out.

List of “No – Show’s”recieved was very useful to officials.

Long Jump required more officials to operate efficiently.
However it was a last minute decision to operate four pits
and some helpers turned up on the day.

Relays difficult to organise, previously used to kill time
whilst results are being completed. This time is not
required anymore as the technology to complete results
quickly has improved providing score sheets are pre
printed and results submitted quickly after events are
completed.
F EEDBACK
Volunteers and officials who submitted feedback
forms generally felt the event went well and was
well planned
I NITIAL THOUGHTS FOR
2010

Separate Committee to plan and deliver the 2010 Quadrathlon

No Relays

Aim to secure sponsorship and event date before end of 2009
this will free up time in the new year to prepare marketing
strategies and literature

Ensure as far as possible there is no clash in dates with leagues
including Young Athletes League and Cheshire League.
