The club is always looking for volunteers, and at the moment we are particularly short of officials. If your child or grandchild will be competing in the Eastern Young Athletes League or the Youth Development League this season, or if you are able to help out with officiating at British League, Southern League, or other events, England Athletics have some officiating courses coming up: https://www.englandathletics.org/officiating/officiating-journey/officiating-journey-step-1/
The club will pay for you to attend.
