ALERTS!

2019 SWVAC Track & Field Champs.

As you know the SWVAC Track & Field Championships is one of the highlights of our racing calendar and it's a great way to meet other SWVAC members.

We have been looking for a while for someone to organise the Championships in June 2019, probably with Exeter as the venue but it could be moved to other suitable venues in the South West if necessary.

Unless someone volunteers to make it happen there won't be a SWVAC Track & Field Championships in 2019.

There will be plenty of help and assistance, but one person needs to take the lead role.

If you feel that you might be able to take on this vital job please contact any Committee Member. You do not need any prior experience but it would be very handy if you know any qualified track & field officials.

If we don't have a volunteer by mid December 2018 then we will have to cancel the 2019 event.

2019 Virgin London Marathon Club Place

SWVAC will be allocated 1 club place in the 2019 Virgin London Marathon on Sunday 22nd April

As usual this will be given to one of our members who applied but was not given a place in the "official" ballot

If you are interested in being considered for the place we need to see your "rejection slip" from the organisers

If there is more than one application we will hold a SWVAC ballot with priority being given to 1st Claim Members

Please contact Alison White by Wednesday 12th December 2018 with evidence of your rejection from the London ballot

If a SWVAC ballot is required this will take place on Friday 14th December and the lucky one will be informed as soon as possible afterwards

2018 BMAF & SWVAC Marathon - Chester - October 7th
