Reply to "2011 Annual meeting agenda topics!"

Just a quick reply for now (heading out to measure a 5k). I am opposed to dropping names on course certs. 2 reasons why:

1. Sometimes there are several versions of the same course (NYC/NYRR events are famous for this). If I see "Central Park 8 km - 2010" I know this is the current version.

2. If I'm looking for a particular course, there might be several (maybe many) courses of the same distance in a town, particularly if it's a large city (Houston would be a good example). Without a name, I would have no clue which one I'm looking for, and would have to open each map until I found the right one.

I don't see a problem with using course names, exc. for the very rare issue like the one stated here, but can see several possible negatives by dropping them. Seems like the cure is worse than the disease.
