Some film and photos taken durning the day of the “Pilot Event” held at the Yate Outdoor Sports Complex, home of Yate & District Athletic Club.
The 2 key constraints of the day were 2m social distancing and trying to reduce/eliminate common touch points.
Events comped were Hammer, Javelin, sprints and hurdles.
At this stage the club were working with keeping people in “bubbles” of no more than 6.

Please note the three people standing by the EDM at the hammer throw are husband, wife and son.
