The reasons for this name change to "Canberra Masters Athletics" include:
Common usage in Australia and internationally of “Masters Athletics” to refer to athletic activities for individuals 30 years and older.
Wanting to align the club and its activities with the interests of individuals born in or since 1970, as well as individuals born before 1970.
Recognising that in contemporary usage the term ‘veteran’ is increasingly equated with ‘old’, and that the notion of ‘old’ is a barrier to attracting the interest of 30 and 40-year-olds who wish to join an athletics club.
We would wish to start using the name "Canberra Masters Athletics" straight away, from May 2008, as our name brand name. More formal changes such as constitution changes, if needed, would likely occur as late as May 2009.
"Canberra Masters Athletics" - Athletics for 30s and over.
