Well done to all the athletes who competed today (and to parents / carers for taking them on Mother’s Day)!

We wish Isabel Male and the U13 Girls Birmingham Team the best of luck for the National Final in Manchester on 14th April.

Having looked at the latest weather forecast, we have decided to cancel tonight’s training. Windchill factors of minus 15 plus the possibility of heavy snow later would render training as a counter-productive and somewhat hazardous exercise.

Enjoy the evening and stay warm.

Because of forecast bad weather, we have cancelled the 5 – 6 pm Taster Group on Thursday. We will keep you updated on other groups. Keep checking the website for updates.

The track is open tonight for training as usual.

In the Midland Indoor Champs Isabel Male (first year Under 15) continued her sparkling form to take the bronze medal in the Under 15 60m in 8.22 secs. Earlier she had won her heat in 8.22 and her semifinal in 8.17 which is a new PB . The two girls ahead of her are both second year Under 15s. Her 8.17 is getting ever closer to the Club record of 8.11 set by Lois Cresswell back in 1994.

In the same meeting, Gideon Akinkuolie (first year Under 17) recorded 8.11 in his first ever 60m.

Meanwhile Donald Brown (M50) continues his preparations for the European Masters Indoors in Madrid in March by recording times of 7.94 and 7.98 in the 60m in the Loughborough Students AC Open.

John Wilmott sessions have now finished. See you all at the track tonight. 6 – 7.45pm.

Six RSCAC under 11s were selected to represent Birmingham today in Sportshall Athletics. They all did superbly. The girls team finished in second place and the boys team won.

Well done to all of the Birmingham Team and a special well done to RSCAC athletes: Alfie, Jayden, Joe, Harrison (Boys’ Captain), Evie and Phao.

Well done to Katie Ingle (Female Sports Person of the Year), Muninder Singh Hayer (Achievement in Disability Sports) and Isabel Male (Grassroots Junior Person of the Year) for winning prizes at the Sutton Sports Awards last night.

I wanted to thank everyone for their patience during the RSCAC clubhouse refurbishment. Particular thanks to Bunny Kyd for all the time he has invested in planning and managing this improvement to our clubhouse facilities.

Our new facilities are nearly ready (just awaiting drains connection via the council). I would also particularly like to thank the kind person who has sponsored our interim toilet facility, our porta loo, this has been greatly appreciated.

Many thanks, Alex Buchanan, committee chair
