Bedfordshire AAA are putting on a Beds Open meeting over two evenings on Monday 14th June (Field) and Wednesday 16th June (Track) from 6pm. This is subject to a permit being issued. These meetings will operate under Covid secure protocols, and you should note that they will probably ask for a negative lateral flow test. These can be ordered online or collected from Pharmacists. The meetings are aimed at young athletes looking for English Schools qualification marks, although entry will not be exclusive to them.

Congratulation to Etienne Maughan and Dan Jarvis, who have both broken club records during the last few days. Etienne clocked 11.26 seconds to go top of the UK U17 80M hurdles rankings and smash the Club record into the bargain. She was delighted to win against high class field at the Lee Valley Hurdles Fest on 31st May. Dan broke his own 3000m Steeplechase club record at the Manchester Invitational meeting on 27th May. Dan's new mark is 8:39.49.

There have been fine performances over the sprints and middle-distances during the last few days...
Howard Darbon, and his team of volunteers have finished the new Wheelchair Racing Section cabin, and it is now being stress tested by the unseasonable May winds! Good job all.
Congratulations to Dan Jarvis, whose 5:43.8 for 2000m Steeplechase at the Steeplechase Fest in Bury St Edmunds on 15th May is a new club record, breaking Simon Goodwin's longstanding mark of 5:49.4, which was set in July 1981.

From Tuesday 18th May we will be operating a bit more normally, but still with some caution due to rising rates in Bedford. Training for groups other than Beagles will start at 6:30 pm. Access to the stadium will be through reception. It will be necessary to use a face covering when inside the building, and you will need to progress to trackside immediately. Coaches will be responsible for keeping a register of attendees in their group for track and trace purposes, and should pass these details on to Martyn.
Please note you will need to have renewed your membership - otherwise the stadium staff will refuse access. Swipe cards may be in operation, so try and bring these with you, although the stadium staff will have an updated list of all paid members to avoid queues at the entrance.
