Late notification of Adam Wilson’s 3rd in the Bedford CAU Inter County Championships and EA Senior Champs on 01/08/15 where he set a PB in the 1500m in 4.12.88 was 3rd in the race but second T20, so a great result!

Yesterday (15/08/15) David Thomas won the Welsh U15 high jump championships in a personal best of 1.67m. An excellent result in windy weather at the Newport Stadium after being stung by a wasp!

Yesterday Eviee Westwood won silver in the 200m Midland champs in a new PB

Finally Mark Lodge will be at the closing ceremony of the world CP games today in Nottingham where he has been a member of the GB coaching team all week. Mark was asked earlier in the year to become part of the coaching team for the week, follow his work at the Invictus games last year and his work with the other coaches this year.

This was only a week after we took delivery of 3 new race wheel chairs that Mark has arranged, which means we will be able offer more to potential wheel chair athletes. Thank you and well done.

Photos will follow once I have learned to load them up!
