OUT OF BOUNDS

Unfortunately, due to faults with the EPSV hammer cage, the throws D area has been cordoned off and that area is now out of bounds until the dangerous situation is addressed and resolved.

The only area in use for javelin training and competition until further notice is the high jump D.

CAN YOU SPARE JUST ONE MORNING THIS YEAR TO HELP YOUR CLUB?

Can you spare a morning to help the club by volunteering as a marshal at the Chester Half Marathon this year on Sunday 21st May?

If you are able to bring friends or family to help too the extra hands would be hugely appreciated. Children are welcome but please let me know if you will have any under 16s with you so that we can allocate to suitable positions.
