Please see this note from Peter Kennedy, Vets AC Track and Field Secretary.
Vets AC is organising a masters track and field competition on Saturday 9th September. Open to all masters athletes (i.e. aged over 35) the event is hosted by London Heathside at Finsbury Park Athletics Track, Hornsey Gate, Endymion Rd London N4 1EE.
The following events are planned across all masters age groups (5-year age bands):
100m, 200m, 400m, 800, 1500m
Short Hurdles, Long Hurdles, 2km Race Walk
Long Jump, Triple Jump, High Jump, Pole Vault, Shot Put, Hammer Throw, Discuss Throw, Javelin Throw
Vets AC need clubs with masters who might compete to help with the officiating. Please can track & field clubs reply to Ros Tabor secretary@vetsac.org.uk with the numbers and levels of the qualified officials they could send. The club will publish a list of those officials who have volunteered to assist on the Veterans AC website so that everyone can see what gaps they have, but a good guide would be for every club with members who are participating to supply three qualified officials, at least two of whom are field officials. If we get a positive response to this request, then we have a good chance of reaching the 50 or so officials we will need.
Please can the clubs give priority to naming any of their level 3 or 4 officials who are willing to take on the lead roles of field referee, track referee, chief timekeeper or chief starter.
Photofinish will be provided by London Heathside.
Two EDM’s will be used for measurement of the long throws, as long as we have field officials there who are trained in EDM operations.
Entries will open soon on BMAF OpenTrack.
Regards
Peter
