Signing-in Sheets
Please ensure that your juniors sign in every week. This week at GSAL 49 juniors signed in, but looking through the Long Jump and 100 metres results, I found another 10 who hadn’t. This time I have added them to the log, but I won’t be doing that in future weeks; those who don’t sign in will be waiting longer for their 25, 50 or 100 medals.
The registers also count towards the two cups we award every 6 months. For more details of our awards see https://www.valleystriders.org.uk/juniors/awards/
