Christmas Break Up now next Saturday |
There will be no athletics this morning - after all the rain the ground is water logged and too wet for Santa! We have rescheduled the Christmas Break Up to next Saturday morning 20th December from 8:45am. The multi event certificates will be handed out and we will run a couple of fun events with a quick visit from Santa - it will be a short program. We hope to see you all then dressed for Christmas!
