Reminder - Officials Courses - 4 and 11 November at Winchester

The deadline for registering is the 19th October for Track and Field and the 26th November for Starter’s Assistant and Timekeeping. Details below:We are very pleased that England Athletics will again be hosting officials courses at Winchester in November. As we are very short of officials, we would encourage as many of you to attend a course as possible and make the most of having a course so close to home. The club needs to provide enough officials for our league matches which we have not been able to do at various matches in the past – we also score points for officials in some leagues. It is possible for timekeepers / track judges to work in shifts so you can officiate for a morning or afternoon, leaving you free to watch your child compete for the rest of the day. Field officials cover a limited number of events in a day and have breaks in between so you should still have the opportunity to watch your child compete. Most matches are on a Saturday or Sunday during the spring and summer months.
