The 2012 Annual General Meeting of the club will be held at 8pm in the club room on Thursday 22th November. The canteen will close at 8pm.

The second Gwent League round of this season was held yesterday at Parc De Pugh Rugby Ground in Brecon. It was a new course for most people and was mainly flat, over farmland and very muddy in places.
Cardiff AAC had an individual winner in Sofia Vella (pictured) in the Novice Girls age group; which was richly deserved after Sofia finished second several times last season and at Bridgend in October.
The club struggled to put out full teams as many of our athletes also play football and as the races were on a Saturday they clashed with football fixtures.
Cardiff AAC is organising a number of parents' evenings to provide information on various aspects of athletics.
The next one is on Monday next, 12th November and the subject will be "Nutrition for the young athlete - pre and post training and competition".
This is an important subject that is often overlooked and the talk will be given by Joanne Jackson who is a registered nutritional therapist with the Natural Health Clinic, Cardiff.

At the Annual General Meeting of Welsh Athletics, held today at Llandrindod Wells, meritorious awards were conferred on Enfys Hawthorn, Rob and Sue Hooper and Tracy Hinton.
These awards are given for outstanding service to athletics in Wales and all four recipients richly deserve to be honoured.
At the first Gwent League cross country race of the season, held last Sunday at Bridgend, the weather was beautiful, warm and dry with a slight breeze, so it was great for the supporters as well as the athletes.
Cardiff AAC had an excellent start to the season with lots of athletes competing at all age groups.
Up and coming stars Jake Heyward and Ellie Atkinson had moved up an age group but continued their winning ways.
