Our Annual Championships are nearly upon us and it is time to send my annual request for help on the day!
There will be a raffle, tombola stall, sale of teas/coffees, filled rolls and home baking. Donations of filled rolls/baking can be brought along on the day and for the raffle and tombola on any training night. All monies made are for the club funds.
Even if your child is not competing we would still very much appreciate donations.

Congratulations to all Team Edinburgh Athletes , team managers, officials ,helpers and parents and coaches
Once again they have had a very successful 2016 and after an exciting match down at York University yesterday the team, which included a large number of Lasswade competitors, finished 7 points ahead of Team Glasgow yesterday, securing victory on the day and winning the league title.
This has been a real team effort with a substantial number of athletes being used in one or more of the matches.
That just leaves the small matter of the national finals on the first weekend in September in Bedford to look forward to
Well done all !!
The club are considering putting teams in to the above relay championships.
The match date is in August, but the closing date for entries is 24th July, and with the summer holiday season now started we need to find out as soon as possible if we will have enough athletes to enter teams.
The relay championships are open to athletes aged U13, U15 and U17 from all training groups.
Can anyone who would like to be considered for the teams please contact me by Friday 8th July?
Thanks
Gordon

Brilliant news for Lasswade’s young athletes. Won all three sections from Saturday, won all three matches over the series. Huge well done to athletes, parents, coaches and officials . Special thanks to Craig Morton in his first season as Team Manager.
Looking forward to the Presidents select match and next season in Division 1.
A Big Big week for Lasswade with the final FVL match of the season on Saturday. Sitting top of Div 2 and pushing for promotion.
Sunday’s match is possibly even bigger. CSSAL down at Nithsdale and again with the clash of dates with an Upper YDL we need all athletes to try and make themselves available.
With one of our normal selectors (Linda) away we have a mix of Craig for the younger athletes and Margaret and David Mc for the older groups.
If approached please help. If not then please come forward to Craig , Margaret or Dave there is probably an event for you.
“You find out a lot about yourself through athletics. If you’re cut out to be a winner or a failure or a quitter, athletics will bring it out of you”
(Steve Ovett)
We may not all be winners but at Lasswade AC we are no failures and no quitters !!!!! Time to step forward …….
Could all athletes and parents of athletes who had been listed for the lower YDL match this weekend please check their emails including spam and respond to team manager Linda Smith as soon as possible. Many thanks
Brian, CDO
