Host Club Responsibilities for Championship Races
Pre-Entry
1. The host club should work with Essex AA in the lead up to the race in ensuring those entered into the Essex championships have done so correctly and validly.
Grange Farm Trotters win the 2016 award for their Stebbing 10 miles road race.
The Howard Williams Trophy is awarded to the best road race in the Essex AA area as voted for by clubs.
Clubs are sent a voting form in October/November and have to rank their best three road races in order. Votes should be based upon how the race is organised rather than on goody bags and medals. Voting is by one voting form per club and it's up to the club how they rank their races. They can consult members or manage it within their committee or however else they see fit. Clubs can vote for their own race. Forms have to be returned by end of January to the Essex Endurance Committee, who count up the votes and the trophy is awarded at the Essex 20 road race.
