Well done to the Bedford and County athletes who took part in the UK School Games at Loughborough on 3rd and 4th September. There were some excellent performances.
Despite fielding a team weakened by injuries and the holiday season, there were some fine individual performances, and we finished second in the National Athletics League Match at Bedford on Saturday 28th August.
The Eastern Masters Athletics League (EMAC) final is on Saturday 25th September, and not on Sunday 26th September as previously shown in the fixture list - this has now been corrected.
Congratulations to Oriana Johnson and Penny Butcher, who both set club records at the British Masters Championships last weekend.
