Other Messages
When groups do long jump they will split into 2 sub-groups using separate pits. When groups do shot they will split into 2 sub-groups using separate throwing circles. Therefore we will need a lot more parents to help, please.
Warning – wearing of spikes is allowed but you should also bring some normal running shoes for shot put and also if there are any games
If you have any queries, please comment on the Facebook post or email [email protected]
