FAQs:
I am not a member of SCVAC. Can I still compete? | Yes, as long as you are a member of PWAC and have paid your EA competition fee. |
Are guests allowed to compete? | Yes, provided there is a lane free and no delay to the programme. Not in the long throws, though. |
What time do matches start? | All matches start at 6:45pm. Detailed timetables will be circulated to selected athletes by email. |
Are there standards for entry. | No, anyone can compete. Although competition is keen the main aim is to have fun and try new things. |
What Division are PWAC in? | Our men are in Div 1 and our women are in Div 2. The aim is to get both teams in Div 1 and to stay there. |
Any rule changes for 2017? | Yes. No guests allowed in hammer, discus or javelin. Four trials allowed in shot and long jump this year. |
Important: Do not miss out on the opportunity to compete in this low key but well organised veterans athletics league. We have had the track to train on for a couple of seasons so lets put that training to good use and show our rivals what we are capable of.
Many thanks,
Alan Newman
