A really good turn out from our young athletes at yesterday’s Lothian trails held at Meadowbank
Please find the un-scrutinised results below.
Well done to all taking part and special thanks to the many officials from lasswade AC and elsewhere for officiating.
Please find the attached request for some additional support for the forthcoming east districts in May. Whilst they need officials there are a number of roles that do not require formal qualification to undertake. If you think you can assist please respond to the link below

With League competition fast approaching I have sent each member a form to complete. (as above link)
It requests availability to be considered for selection for events. Whilst there will no doubt be changes over the summer it gives team managers a good starting point for team selection.
Last year we frankly struggled in the opening matches , primarily due to holiday commitments and I am keen to ensure Managers have the largest pool of available athletes to choose from.
Returns as quickly as possible please. Those who do not yet have Scottish Athletic Membership are requested to arrange as soon as possible in order that they can be considered eligible to compete.
Many thanks
