Fetch, I saw your charter, and couple bits feedback (if I read it and understood correctly) : As an affiliated AC, I don't think we'd put up any charter or code other than our national body (Scottish Athletics) and our own individual club plans and rules. I don't think we'd recognise any other as having jurisdiction? If you're asking do we support the principles that you stated, then wholeheartedly "Yes" and try to implement them to best of our ability. But not sure we'd use a Fetch badge to attest to it? Just FYI. G

Chrisull May 2016 5:02pm, 10 May 2016 8,841 posts	0 Chrisull We have plenty of fees to encourage people to come forward... I've just got my coaches license as a result, but not that many people stepping forwards.

Chrisull May 2016 5:46pm, 10 May 2016 8,842 posts	0 Chrisull Some don't want the responsibility, some aren't there regularly enough, some are too busy with jobs/family life, some are students whose university/college courses take them away from home. Some get injured/bored or fall out with other members. It's a mixture!
HappyG(rrr) May 2016 10:04am, 26 May 2016 25,672 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) We have trained quite a few coaches, but I don't see them leading/organising coaching sessions. We do have one, formal coached session per week (I'm talking about adults here - juniors are a completely different scenario, because of safety of kids, background checks/disclosure etc. on top). You've prompted me to question our club as to what all these trained coaches are doing for the club? G
