7th November 2009- General Update

Firstly, congratulations to Iain and Anne McEwan who made the not inconsiderable trip to Sydney, Australia to compete in the World Masters Track and Field Championships. This was no small event with average crowds of 45,000 in the stadium. Not only did both make it to the semi finals of the 100m in their respective age groups, Iain won high jump bronze with 1.61m against 25 other athletes. It is no mean feat to have a World Championship medal winner in your club. Maybe Iain and Anne could write a few words themselves to do the championships justice.

Secondly, 6 of us attended the Scottish Athletics Awards on Halowe'en, myself, Euan, Mark, Willie, Allan Boyd and Kate. While it was a pleasure to be there, it would be nice to return in 2010 occupying a lower table number having been nominated for an award. That is up to you, me and everyone else to achieve that.

Finally for now, only the indoor league dates appear on Evens Diary for now. So many mixed messages are coming from Scottish Athletics, for example, as to whether there will be any under 13 indoor championships, I am reluctant to post anything which may be rendered incorrect later. The Scottish Athletics site itself may be the best place to lool.
