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.

For a breakdown of results up to the end of May...

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.
