George Bunner MBE Chairman of AAA of England
(President Cheshire County AA)

I am seeking nominations for the position as Chairman of the AAA of England. My campaign is not based with the interests of any one area but the welfare and interests of the whole of English Athletics. I would ask clubs, county association, and other affiliated bodies to support my nomination.

I have consulted with friends and colleagues throughout the sport as well as many hours of soul searching before reaching this decision. I have the support of my own area association the North of England and would urge others to support my nomination.

 Below is an outline of my views and policies and a short CV on myself.
