30 Year Anniversary Gala Day

All registered athletes are invited to our big day this Saturday. Visitors, please bring your ticket books! We are running a 100m handicap and several other events. Trophies & medalions for all events. BBQ fires up early with egg & bacon rolls and will run all day. A gourmet coffee van and a photographer have also been organised. 

20 year old Record eclipsed

Tim Coad has finally eclipsed one of the club's longer standing records in the Under 12 boys long jump. The old mark of 5.05m has stood since 1988 and was held by L.Davies. Tim's new record jump was 5.06m. Rarely has 1cm meant so much. Congratulations Tim!
