Best of luck to: Regan, Patience, James, Luke, Jennie, Becky, Cameron, George, Mollie, Rachel, Michael and Will. Enjoy the experience. All spectators, CHEER LOUDLY for Royal Sutton.

I’ve just found out that the Heart of England on 31 Aug is now at Leamington, not Daventry. Apologies for any inconvenience. I’ve no idea why they have changed the venue. New address is;

Edmondscote Athletics Track
River Close
Leamington Spa
CV32 6AD

Please spread the word….I don’t want anyone unnecessarily going to Daventry!

Put the date in your diary now…. Friday 19th September 2014 at Walmley Social Club, Fox Hollies Road, Sutton Coldfield. More details to follow…Tickets available at the coffee bar soon. Smart dress….so get thinking about your outfit!

Please take note of the date of the athletics club AGM. This meeting is the chance for you to voice any comments/concerns you might have. It is also the change to put forward yourself to be on the athletics club committee. If you would like to help run the club, please attend this meeting and put yourself forward. We urgently need new blood and because we have lost two of our younger members to university and to living abroad, we especially need people in the 16 – 30 age bracket. You will get the chance to know what is going on in the club and obviously will have a say in club activities when you attend a monthly meeting, which takes place 8 – 9/9.30pm on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.

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.
