Wessex League - 16 July - Sign up now

The first two home matches were very successful with WADAC winning both
nband we hope to have another successful match this weekend but we need plenty of people to sign up for the final match. The Wessex League
nprovides a great opportunity for young athletes to compete for WADAC in the
n2017 Wessex League: http://www.wessexleaguetandf.co.uk/index.htm.
n
n
nPlease note that there
nis a Lower YDL match the day before (Sat 15th) at Woking. If you are
nnot planning to attend matches on both days, if possible, please give priority
nto attending the YDL match on the Saturday. Please note that the YDL has spaces for two scoring athletes in each event so places are more limited than in the Wessex League.
