Can you do an officials course?

The club desperately needs more level two officials. If you would be willing to help the club out by raking a pit/measuring jumps and throws/time keeping/positioning athletes/starting races, please apply to do a level 2 officials course. (We get points for providing officials at each meeting but only if they are Level 2 or above.) There are courses for track, timekeeping, field & starter on 27 Sept at Alexander Stadium. See the below link for more info and email rscac@hotmail.co.uk if you are interested or speak to Meg Evans at the track.

Thank you.

Well done to our under 13 and under 15 mixed relay teams who represented the club in style earlier as they opened the event.
