DescriptionThe promotion of athletics in schools was regarded as an important strand of the Amateur Athletic Association's work. It recognized that the top athletes of the future needed to be nurtured from school age and that the Schools Athletic Association was the largest nursery for the AAA, in an effort to secure athletes beyond school the association needed to liaise between schools and clubs. As a result collaborative initiatives, such as the foundation of a scheme for training young athletes were established to ensure that there would be a pool of athletes for the future of the sport. The function of the committee therefore was to advise on the co-ordination of athletes in the various types of school with the AAA as the governing body. The school athletic activities were to cater for the full range of athletics events whilst protecting those pupils who wished to compete. These volumes provide a complete series of minutes for the dates noted.
