Given that the UKA/EA lockdown date is now June 30th at the earliest, we have now taken the decision to cancel the league matches and the Championships in June. There may be scope to have some simple time and distance events later in the year, but this is very dependent on government and governing body advice, as well as the availability of both officials and a track licence. We will keep you updated of further developments as the situation becomes clearer over the following weeks and months.
Please consult the BMAF website for regular updates on their events - their own championships have also been cancelled, but currently the North of England Masters Championships are still going ahead on September 13th. The EAMA Inter-area Outdoor T&F challenge has been cancelled. Additionally, keep checking the BMAF website for information on a virtual BMAF Road Relay on June 20th - encourage your fellow club members to get a virtual team together and enter! |
