Development webinar and save date for Virtual Club Conference

Sunday 4th October 2020

scottishathletics are staging an online education session for clubs on Wednesday evening.

And we are also asking clubs to ‘save the date’ for our Virtual Club Conference coming up in November.

The webinar on Wednesday (at 6.30pm) will focus on the issue of Maintaining Compliance and will be delivered by our partners, Andrew Jenkin and Alan Russell from Club Development Scotland.

Through our partnership, Club Development support our scottishathletics member clubs when reviewing their legal status. As part of this work, they have helped a number of clubs over the last two years to change their legal status.

We now have over 40 member clubs with Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) status and we want to continue supporting you to ensure you remain up-to-date with the regulations for SCIOs.

If you are an existing SCIO please encourage at least one representative from your club to attend this webinar.

As well as refreshing and updating on the requirements for SCIOs there will also be an opportunity to ask questions to scottishathletics and Club Development Scotland. The webinar will last for approximately one hour.

Zoom online session invitations have been sent to club secretaries.

*Any clubs who wish to find out more about legal status, or are considering changing your legal status, please contact your National Club Manager.
