GET IN THE PICTURE
Jon Tipping has kindly provided a link to view his fabulous photos from rounds one and two of this season’s Northern Track and Field League campaign, including last week’s action at Wakefield.
STAYING HEALTHY
Club coaches Tim Durrant and Ian Ackroyd want to raise awareness among all young female club members about assessing their iron levels by having blood tests.
Articles recently written by athlete Bobby Clay about her training and health issues have flagged up warnings and the need for our female athletes aged between 13 and 17 years old to monitor their health. Ian and Tim will provide more details if asked.
