A brief history:-
The North East Veterans Athletics Club (NEVAC) was formed in the early 1970's by members of the various North East's running clubs to provide veteran only competitions in the North East area for track & field, road & cross country disciplines .
In the year 2000 it was decided to separate into two completely different organisations:-
(a) an association for the members of the various local athletics clubs.
This association is now called The North East Masters Athletics Association (N.E.M.A.A.) (formerly VAANE)
and (b) a first claim club for those who were only members of N.E.V.A.C This new first claim club would be completely separate from the NEMAA association - and would retain the name of N.E.V.A.C.
Now that everything is crystal clear - please read on !
It is N.E.M.A.A that organises all veteran track & field league and championship events as well as
road & cross country relay and championship events within the North East area.
Some N.E.M.A.A events are open but some require membership of NEMAA.
Membership of NEMAA requires veterans to be a member of a club and to have been born within or live within the North East area. Membership of NEVAC meets the first requirement.
NEVAC is affiliated to Northern Athletics and to England Athletics (formerly UK Athletics) and has the same status as other clubs.
