LASSWADE ATHLETIC CLUB

I have received notification that the open graded meetings at Grangemouth this year are online enty only .

The following has been received and we are advised that a large entry is expected. Numbers will be capped so don’t delay or face disappointment

Please note that entry is online only. Entries via www.online-entries.co.uk , this will take you to Scottish Schools entries page. You will see FCT logo and Grangemouth Stadium’s details below.

As most of you will be aware, last year we were completely bombarded with entries on the night and unfortunately it was not a pleasant experience for coaches, athletes and stadium staff alike.

This is our first time trying it this way and I am sure it will be a vast improvement to the process.

Declarations will be in the ‘wooden gym’, for athletes to collect their numbers. This will be their number for each event on that particular evening.
Please encourage your athletes to enter as soon as possible as all event numbers are capped.

There are still a few place available on our next Induction Groups (for 8-11 yrs) starting Monday 20 April and Thursday 23 April 2015 at Dalkeith Campus . Time 7 pm – 8.15 ish. These blocks will be 10 weeks taking us to the summer holidays. Cost £20 per block. If you know of any budding athletes keen to come and try please get in touch with the Club Development Officer Brian Hood via facebook or through email at brianh3010@ gmail.com

This week’s Athletics Weekly focuses on Lasswade AC in their series on club nights. The first Scottish Club to appear.

Make sure you get your copy !!
