Dates for you diary

/in , , , /by

Firstly we have just had confirmation that Chris Jones CEO of England athletics is visiting Yate and District AC on Tuesday evening 26th September 2017! There is no set format, he will arrive before 7.00 pm  and be escorted around looking at our facilities, watching training, meeting coaches and athletes alike. I appreciate some groups are on a break but it would be great to have the track looking busy if possible.  Photos and an article will then appear in the EA news letter in the near future. Please support this evening if you can

The T&F season is not quite over: on Sunday September 24th there are the Exeter Pentathlons: Exeter Harriers have already had enough entries to justify going with their event (which hasn’t always been the case in past seasons), but would welcome more. This meeting will be the last chance for many U13/U15/U17 athletes to compete in that age group. Details of the event can be found at. http://exeterharriers.org.uk/competitions/exeter-harriers-combined-events/
Don’t forget the cross country season is approaching, in case you don’t know, we have an agreement with Westbury Harriers that you can run for them (like they do for us on the track) at no extra cost (except the run vets) in cross countries or road races, if you are interested please let Ellen know so the appropriate forms can be filled in.
We have been asked to participate in an anonymous survey if you can please go to the link below and help a university.
Finally look out for Awards night tickets that will be on sale soon.

Dates for your diary

/in , /by

Following the recent home nations success for both Yvette Westwood in the Welsh International in Cardiff where she represented England (Midlands) in the 200 (25.02) and 100m (12.19) achieving second in both races and Jack Moore representing Wales in the Celtic games in Dublin (Bronze medal 1.85m), it is now time to look out for Beth Tucker who has been invited to race in the diamond league race (T37) on 20th Aug. This is being televised so watch out for times etc. We wish her all the best.

Fittingly the other date to put in your diary is the 14 October for our awards night and celebration of the year. This year its on a Saturday and will feature a disco as well as the buffet so please  keep the date free for when the tickets go on sale.
