Thank you

/in , , , , , /by

Just a quick thank you for those members who turned up on Saturday to help get ready for the new season.

The Long/triple jump pits were swept and dug, new Discus, hammer, shot and Block racks were put together, new competition blocks sorted out, the sun even shone which is always a bonus. Thank you.

With our Sprints and Hurdles open having filled up so quickly, you may need some more ‘opens’ to attend, to get this years performances onto Power of 10. You can always check ‘power of 10’ ‘fixtures’ for the opens you are able to attend.

First up is Bath field fest on 02/04/17, entries close on Wednesday so there may still be chance to enter.

After our Sprints and Hurdles on 09/04/17 (if you are new to all this and were not quite sure weather to enter or not come along and watch and find out its not too frightening)! are the Mendip opens at Millfield on 4th and 25th May and the Bristol open on 23rd May.

Also worth a check are the Exeter Harriers ac & Cheltenham ac web sites for details of their opens, all of which are good events and give everyone opportunities to compete and push for selection for one of our teams in, Avon track and field, Youth Development or Midland, leagues.

On that note don’t forget to let the team managers for the YDL U17/U20 and Midland leagues (u17 and above) what dates and events you are available for. If you do not let them know how will they know you can compete?

Best of luck

New season preparation

/in , /by

With the new season rapidly approaching its time to renew your Club membership (or join for the first time, if you want to compete)
March is now membership month, so Ellen and her team will be in the club house Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights to accept your membership applications, deal with any queries and hand out our new booklet designed to help you through our great sport of athletics and our clubs’ part in it.

In the meantime, our team managers are getting organised for league competitions kicking off in April and May. They will be busy scouring the power of ten to find performances and make their team selections, so, once you’ve joined, you’re going to want to make sure you record some performances for them to consider.

The first competition to try would be the Bath Field Fest on 02/04/17 where you will be able to compete in the jumps and throws events (and Pole Vault). Go to the Team bath web site for entries.

Our own very popular Sprints and hurdles is next on 09/04/17 at Yate. Entries are limited to 200 so get your entry in as soon as possible as this will be one of the few opportunities to run and register a time before team selection starts for the YDL events later in April.
Entry forms can be found on our web site so don’t delay do it today!

Open competition tonight at Kip Keino Stadium Filton (Wise Campus)

/in /by

Just a reminder the Bristol and West open is on tonight, (enter on the night). This is a great opportunity to register a height , time or distance at your event(s) you would like to compete at. Our Team Mangers use these and other performances to select teams, so if you do not have a registered performance on Power of 10, or feel your current personal best is not representative of your capabilities then now is the time to change it!

Check on Bristol and West website that your event(s) are on tonight and at what time and register in time, this is particularly important for new under 13 and under 15 athletes to show what they can do, so give it a go, this is where a lot of athletes start their competition experience.
