The post holder should be able to commit around 8-10 hours per month to manage meetings, communications and club actions.  There is support from the committee members and the offer of help from the outgoing Chair remains available.

Effective communication skills, ability to manage meetings, a flexible approach to dealing with partners and a ‘can do’ attitude are the key requirements for the role so if you are interested, we want to hear from you!

Starters Needed for Scottish Athletics

Scottish Athletics are running short of Officials to cover all the events that go on in Scotland.  One of the lowest groups is the Starter/ Starters Assistant.

Therefore Scottish Athletics are running a Come & Try Starting at the Age Group championships on the 20th and 21st of August. Interested people can come along between 11:30 & 2:30 and be shown the ropes from a UK Athletics qualified Starter.

Without the expertise of Officials athletics in Scotland would not exist.

Please see this poster for more information.
