Welsh U11 U13 & U15 League @ Swansea Sunday 17th July

UPDATE 16TH July:

This Sunday 17th July meeting has been cancelled this is due to the extreme high temperatures that have been forecast for tomorrow. The club had to take into account the safety of all those involved, which would include athletes, officials and spectators, and what the exposure to extreme heat could have caused despite taking all the necessary precautions. We apologies for taking this course of action and any inconvenience this causes, no doubt many will be disappointed but the club had err side on the side of caution.

Sunday 17th July see the U11 U13 & U15 Welsh League come to our home track at Swansea V Neath, V Llanelli V Carmarthen V Pembrokeshire V Bridgend. First and foremost after the postponement of round 1 due to lack of appropriately qualified UK Athletics officials, it is vital that all six clubs including ourselves provide their full quota of officials so the event can go ahead: Member clubs must provide a minimum of 6 club officials: FOUR field officials, at least one of which must be Level 2 or above and ONE track judge and ONE timekeeper. If you are willing and available to help please contact our officials secretary Emma at [email protected] We will also need plenty of mums, dads, grandmas and grandads to help in the club cafe, on results and backing up the qualified officials timekeeping, track judging and field judging please, if you can help us out get in touch via Emma or your team manager.
