CLUB KIT

Angela always takes a selection of kit to athletics meetings.  Alternatively, if you tell Angela what you want she will do her best to bring the required kit to training on a Thursday night.

Current prices:  Hoodies = Size XL £19.00, L , M and S £17.50,  XS £14.50, child 32” £12.50

                              Vests = all sizes male and female £15.00

T shirts = All new members receive a club T shirt (which can be worn for competitions) for free once their membership form has been processed. 

If you have outgrown your t shirt and would like a new one all sizes cost £6.50

Shorts = our official club colours are red shorts although this is fairly relaxed.  However, if anyone is interested in purchasing red shorts/running knickers please let Angela know.

 

COACHES AND HELPERS

As the club continues to gain in popularity to maintain a safe environment more adult helpers are required.  A number of parents assist each week and we couldn’t manage without them.  If any parents are interested in gaining a UK Athletics Level 1 Coaching Award they should talk to Tom and Angela.  The course takes 1 day and there are several at Horspath each year.  Without more qualified coaches we may have to start turning athletes away.
