| Description | Volume containing minutes of the Athletic Advisory Committee from April 18 1957 - February 10 1961. The purpose of the committee was to collate views of relevant people regarding the matters which arose so that decisions and proposals could be made that were representative of the athletes opinions. For example the minutes note that the committee received suggestions from athletes for dates of International meetings, a request for physiotherapists and an improvement on the facilities available to the at the stadium. These proposals were noted, informing the committees report which was then submitted to the General committee. The committee addressed the strengthening of weak events and a discussion ensued on the establishment of an International Athletics club for athletes 'for discussion of questions of mutual interest, and to form a collecting centre for ideas which they would like their representatives to put forward at the Athletics Advisory Committee'. A synopsis of the questionnaire results for the proposal of the International Athletics Club is included within the volume. Loose leaves inserted at the rear of the volume consist of drafts of athletic advisory committee reports and manuscript letters recording reasons for the establishment of the committee. |
