Club records continue to fall, more and more athletes compete at a high level and there was no shortage of candidates for Athletes of the Year..
Once again we have stalwarts heading off to Uni and best wishes go with them. Thanks again to Gillian and Geoffrey for a great night with the weather spot on this time. Most track athletes are now on their break until October while middle distance ones are in the Valentines on Tuesdays and Thursdays while the light holds.
