Support our Officials: volunteer help needed at three venues

Support our Officials: volunteer help needed at three venues

Thursday 2nd May 2024

scottishathletics are seeking support from the track and field community for championship and open graded events coming up soon.

The 4J Studios District Championships (U17, U15, U13) and National Open events (Senior, U20, U18) will be held at Grangemouth, Kilmarnock and Inverness over the weekend of May 10-12.

The weekend has attracted over 2,300 entries from 1,300 athletes.

With no fewer than 70 affiliated clubs represented across the three venues, it is set to be a busy weekend of athletics for all involved.

We already have support from 200 Officials and volunteers to assist with the delivery of these events, to whom we are very grateful.

However, with three packed timetables to deliver, our dedicated teams of regular volunteers are stretched, and we need further help from the sport to make these events happen.

Clubs – if you have athletes competing, we would love you to offer volunteers to support our technical officials in various roles that weekend. In particular, support with declarations, athlete assembly and presentations is sought, as well as on-field roles working directly with experienced officials.

We are very happy for people to volunteer for a few hours or for full days as suits, on any and all days of competition.

If you are able to support these events, please e-mail events@scottishathletics.org.uk by 5pm on Wednesday 8 May with which venue and which session you are able to help with.

Thanks for your support.
