Yate Adaptive and Para Athletics group together with the Deaf Studies Trust set up a regional Deaf Schools Athletics competition on 11th July at YOSC.
This attracted 65 participants from Bristol Schools and mainstream schools in Wiltshire, Avon and Gloucestershire.
We are very short of parents in the U13 & U15 age groups who are officials.
We recently had to call on Charlotte & Matt Viner to cover the Cardiff YDL Lower match (as well as officials from Bristol & West) to ensure that we did not lose points, as officials contribute to the team’s points in the both the YDL Lower & Upper Leagues as well as the senior leagues that we compete in.
We are incredibly proud of the clubs forty-year history and have kept records of every year since we were established, back in 1983.

As you may be aware, the procedures for competition in Para-Athletics are rather more complex than in mainstream athletics. Although our programme of Adaptive Athletics has been running for over a year, we are only now fully engaging with Para-Athletic competition.
On 15th and 16th of July, Nancy Jubb became our first fully classified athlete.
