Athletic events at all levels need officials to ensure a safe, fair meeting.
To encourage new recruits into officiating Scottish Athletics are hosting 2 walk rounds during the Indoor Championship on 4 and 12 February. Members of one of the sub groups of the Officials Commission will be there to escort interested people around the various disciplines involved in an athletic meeting. They will explain the different discipline and show first hand what each one does.
To register for the walk around send your name and email address to shonamalcolm@scottishathletics.org.uk and state is AM or PM would suit you best. Possible times would be 10am and 1pm
If you have anyone in your club that you think would be interested in learning more about what is involved or wishes to become an official, then please get them to contact Shona Malcolm via email shonamalcolm@scottishathletics.org.uk or call on 07731832567 for further information.
I cannot stress the importance of bringing new people into the sport to support greater competition for athletes at all levels.
