The first meet was at Rugby 9 May. A Fantastic performance from our teams who finished 2nd and 3rd. Top class from our four ladies who came 3rd. Cheers for Chris Hawkins, Delia Carauna, Janet Mee and Judith Hanlon. The lads couldn't fill the M40 TJump, M60 1500m events. If they had, we would have finished 1st.

Volunteers
The club is administered and run by a team of volunteers. Home and away fixtures pose a particular problem in that we have to find teams of officials to help run the event. it would be enormously helpful if you were able to assist at either home or away fixtures - you do not need to be a qualified official, just willing and able to spend some time: clearing hurdles, recovering javelin or raking sand in the high jump pit. We have put a fixture list here on the club's site. Please email Graham Thompson if you are able to help
