MEMBERS NOTICE

The committee has decided to run a Members Athletic Triathlon Meeting on the evening of Monday 13th September. This will give all members the opportunity to compete in race conditions. All performances will count towards PB's and Club Records and Achievement Awards.

As you are aware Monday is our normal training night and as such no training will take place, instead athletes will compete in an athletic triathlon. Obviously time is a critical factor in organising an event on an evening and hence we would ask our younger athletes to start arriving at 6-00pm or as soon as possible thereafter with the first race starting shortly after at 6-15pm. Please use this time to warm up. Older athletes should note that their races commence at 7pm. Parents of younger athletes should also be aware that the last Under 11 races only start at around 7-30pm so athletes will be a little late leaving.

The competition will be run similar to a Heptathlon or Decathlon whereby your times/distances will be converted into points, with the eventual winner being the athlete in each age group with the most points overall.

Trophies will be awarded to the 1^st, 2^nd and 3rd boy and 1^st 2^nd and 3^rd girl in the following age groups. All ages as per the school year ending in 2010.

Year 2

Year 3

Year 4

Year 5

Year 6/7 Under 13's

Year 8/9 Under 15's

Year 10/11 Under 17's

Under 20's

ALL SCHOOL YEARS RELATE TO THE YEAR JUST FINISHED ie 2009/2010

Athletes must compete in 3 events to be eligible for trophies (2 track and one field). You do not have to compete in all 3 events if you do not wish. Your times etc will be posted on the Club Web Site.

This is a great opportunity for members to experience competition for the first time and hopefully will encourage members to compete in league meetings in 2011.

On the day

Arrive at the start in time for your first event, having collected your number from the door if not previously collected. During the meeting can all parents and athletes please keep to the outside of the track unless you are an athlete and your next event is due.

Race results will not be published on the night in view of the time constraints however all race results and the Triathlon results will be published on the clubs web site http://www.salfordmets.co.uk/tri10.htm as soon as possible after the event, however, in view of the numbers expected this may take several days to calculate and post on the website. Presentation of trophies will be made on training evenings.

It is the athletes responsibility to ensure you arrive at the start in time for your events.
