It is the responsibility of each athlete/parent to ensure that their attendance on each club night is recorded by their Team Manager on arrival.
Awards and Trophies
It has never been the club policy to give every athlete an award at prize giving. However, there is plenty of opportunities for athletes to earn an award throughout the season. A variety of medals, ribbons, certificates and trophies are awarded both at the end and during the season to all age groups for both track and field events.

You will receive a hand-written reply within a timely fashion once the committee has reviewed the grievance or complaint.
