Plenty of Yate athletes took part in the South West Indoor Championships at the Welsh Junior Indoor Open in Cardiff at the weekend. Between them they achieved 11 medal winning performances, and a whole host of other excellent results. For some this will have been their first time competing in an older age group.
Well done everyone!
Day Two is on 7th Jan and is open for entries until 14th December, here: www.welshathletics.org/en/competition/current/view/junior-indoor-open-11

Stuart is a Level 3 official who regularly volunteers at @YateAC, county and regional competitions. He takes time to encourage others to get involved in volunteering, especially as a starter. Recently, he was instrumental in setting up the club with a new electronic start system.
Our final winner Pat dedicates her time to coaching young female athletes for @WestburyH & @YateAC. She’s an inspiration to many athletes who until a few years ago would see her completing her own training before starting her coached session, utilising her knowledge & experience.
We would really appreciate some more positive reviews on Google:
The committee have now sent out an email to all of our club members regarding the proposed changes to junior age groups.
This can also be viewed on our website.
Links to the @EnglandAthletic consultation survey are also included (closes 23 October).
