The Oxon Athletics Network are organising a networking evening for officials on timekeeping and track judging held on 22nd April at Horspath.

If you are interested, please book through Doug Scott (see attachment). This should be a really good opportunity to network, be updated on the new rules as they relate to you, and get information about your discipline that will help your development as an official.

The Inter Counties Senior Fell Champs will be the Ras Moel Eilio on the 14th May 2016 (12.8K 915m climb) starting and finishing in Llanberis. Competitors for the Inter Counties must be selected by the County, and the names of County athletes should be sent to the FRA event co-ordinator.

Oxford has a strong tradition in the 400m, with the men achieving BUCS 4×400 silver and bronze in 2014 and 2013 respectively. Our biggest fixture each year is the Varsity Match against Cambridge. With over 150 years of history between the two athletics clubs, the Varsity match is a spectacle like no other.

Sessions are run on a Tuesday and Thursday evening, and Sunday morning. Ideally, a successful candidate should be able to make it to our training sessions twice per week.

Salary: Hourly coaching rate

Update (17/01/16): the Veteran awards have been added to the team results.

Numbers for athletes entered in the above can be collected from your team managers for Oxon clubs; for individual entries, the numbers will be available from Professor John Sear (who is the referee for the championships). Anyone owing entry fees can give those to JWS or send them by post after the event. 

Because of the football at the Kazzam Stadium, all athletes should allow extra time for travel and parking (at BMW).
