Exciting! The Club has been invited to attend the SRAC's Annual Track & Field Invitational Match on the weekend of Saturday 10th September in Stornoway. This is for U13, U15 and U17 athletes. This event began about 5 years back with an aim to bring 2 clubs up to Stornoway for an athletics match and a great social occasion as well as an opportunity to bond as a club and make new friends. It would mean travelling up on Friday, the competition on Saturday and the (legendary!) ceilidh and food which they will provide, and a return on Sunday, complete with memento training t-shirts - often seen as the choice of youngsters across the land !
Many clubs and athletes have been up over the years and last year was the biggest and best to date with 3 clubs - Edinburgh, Giffnock North and Corstorphine making the journey and competing against a Uist team as well as Stornoway. With over 200 athletes there - a fantastic day with some great performances, and a fantastic weekend!
Scottish Athletics had a story on it, as per this link -
In order to be able to accept this wonderful invitation we would require volunteer(s) to take ownership of coordinating this. If you would like more information or would like to be involved, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
If noone comes forward then sadly we will need to decline the fab offer and allow another club to go in our place frown emoticon
