Announcement of Inter-Area Team Manager

Inter-Area Challenge Match, 21st July, Solihull

I am happy to announce that Elaine Mee has very kindly taken on the role of our Team Manager for the above event. Elaine is a very experienced athlete; official and club team manager and we are very pleased that she has filled this gap in our setup. Many of our members will already know Elaine who will be ably assisted on the day by Tony Porter.

Elaine will be receiving the list of members who have already declared their interest to be selected for the team by previously contacting either Irene Nicholls or Lou Satterthwaite. Any members who have NOT done this so far, then please contact Elaine on jandemee@btinternet.com

I must stress that Elaine will be contacting the athletes who are selected. The compiled list of members who have declared an interest in competing does NOT mean that they will necessarily be selected for the team.

Latest Goings On!!!

Yesterday, 9th June, our Track & Field Championships took place at Nuneaton. A depleted entry list owing to clashes with other events didn’t spoil the day however and quite a few members did in fact double up by competing at more than one meeting.

Can I thank all the members who tried out the new system and much appreciate their patience when the bugs started biting!!
