There will be sufficient qualified officials and automatic timing to ensure that performances will be shown on Power of 10 and can be used for international selection.

Central AC are required to provide helpers – three at each match and these personnel could change between morning and afternoon. The names of athletes along with 2022 (or later) personal bests and Scottish Athletics membership numbers must be submitted by Friday 5 April. Scottish Athletics membership numbers must be up to date and will be subject to scrutiny.

There are no individual fees for competing as the competing clubs cover these costs. Should you be interested in being considered for competition on 13 April, please contact John McDonald by Wednesday 3 April at the latest (mcdonald@johnglenallan.plus.com), with details of preferred event and with any offers of assistance.

This is a great opportunity for some quality competition and to improve your personal bests. A reminder will be sent for subsequent events.
