We have reduced the number of field event competitions but we need the support, otherwise events will overrun in an already congested timetable. Thank you to the four people who have committed to helping and I know some of you will be on your district tables.There are a number of schools with athletes entered who have not paid the affiliation fee – this could prevent athletes from competing.
