Home

 

This page has been setup to assist PWAC members with competing in British and Overseas Veterans / Masters events

(If you have any queries that aren't answered here then please get in touch with Alan Newman or Des White)

 

Entry Process

You need to join one of the UK Veterans / Masters Clubs, e.g. Southern Counties Veterans AC (SCVAC), this does not mean that you will lose your 1st claim status for PWAC, you can be a member of both clubs and compete for both.  See the SCVAC website www.scvac.org.uk for details of joining etc., you will see a number of "familiar" local faces on their website.

For overseas events & competitions you must enter through the UK entries secretary (see BMAF website) and you need to be a member of a Veterans / Masters club - see above (or will have to prove your age over and over). 

Useful websites with details of events and entry procedures etc. include:-

The British Masters Athletic Federation  (BMAF)   www.bmaf.org.uk
