YOUNG ATHLETES LEAGUE 2012 |
The final cost of a seat on the coach to Sheffield on Sunday 20th May is £8 per person. Anyone who has paid the £5 deposit will need to pay the remaining £3 by Thursday 17th. Over thirty-three seats have been booked so far so anyone who wishes to travel on the coach will need to see Charlie Garrett by Thursday when he will be at trackside between 5.30 p.m. and 8.00 p.m.
The coach will leave from Stanley Park at 8.00 a.m. and pick up at the Halfway House on Squires Gate Lane at 8.15 a.m. The next pick up will be at the Kirkham roundabout on the M55 around 8.25 a.m. Anyone wanting to be picked up at Broughton should let Charlie know - 07905 994048.
A message to all coaches from club secretary Nick Hume:
In order to comply with Clubmark a photo copy is required of all Coaches Licences and I will be at the Club House on Tuesday 22nd May from 18.00 - 19.00 to take a copy of your licence. However if you can scan your own and forward to me that would be acceptable. This mainly applies to those who coach young athletes (U18) but ideally all coaches should be complying.
Thanks Nick
A message from England Athletics:
England Athletics, UKA and the other home country governing bodies are alert to our responsibilities to all participants in athletics in respect of all aspects of health and safety. One particular area that young athletes and their parents must be aware of is the risk of cardiac problems.
There have been instances of young athletes suffering potentially fatal heart conditions without being aware that they are at risk.
England Athletics would like to make you aware of a piece of work that has been undertaken by UKA. UKA has worked with Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) for several years, providing a screening service to athletes on the World Class Performance Programme. UKA and CRY are now seeking to encourage more athletes to use CRY’s screening service to help to identify any cardiac problems that may be otherwise hidden.
CRY is a charity that was established to raise awareness of conditions that can lead to the sudden cardiac death of young people. They operate a screening programme at a number of clinics around the UK and support this with mobile units that travel to other locations.
Full information about CRY and their services can be found on their website. Young people between the age of 14 and 35 who would like to have cardiac testing can go to Test My Heart.
You can also see UKA cardiac screening for information on work being done by UKA in this area.
Did you know that BWFAC has a running beginners group? It is organised by club vice-chairman Bob Massey
and details can be found on his Run England group page.
On Tuesday the group meets at the Sports Centre entrance at Stanley Park at 6.00 p.m. and on Thursday at the Moor Park Sports Centre, again at 6.00 p.m. Everyone is welcome from those who have done nothing before and wish to give it a try, to people returning after a period away from running.
If you are interested, or know anyone who might be, please feel free to come along and join in. Bob can also be contacted on (01253) 590637 or 07967 765666.
BWFAC encourages you to be a Sport Maker (see Leaflet). This is open to all over 16 years of age.
The next date is:
Tuesday 22nd May at Blackpool Sports Centre Meeting Room 19.00 – 21.00
If you are interested and I encourage people to attend please register via Sportmakers and let Nick Hume know. Any queries to Nick.

Andrea Thorley-Baines is the recently appointed Welfare Officer for BWFAC and as part of her remit she will be talking to all our Coaches, Officials and Volunteer Helpers about her role and also to ensure ourselves that all licences and Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) documentation is in place and up to date.
This is important because the Club is now re-accrediting for Clubmark and will be audited by a representative from England Athletics who will request sight of this information.
Finally, if anyone has any concerns related to the safeguarding or welfare of club members, Andrea is the initial point of contact for the club.
