Following urgent discussions by the board of Welsh Masters Athletics Ltd, with other interested and supportive parties, the Welsh Masters championships that were set for cancellation at Aberdare, will now be staged at Yate, as described below.

Special statement from Brett Davis – A director of Welsh Masters Athletics Ltd.

Thanks to our friends from the South-West (Avon Count AA and Yate & District AC) we have now incorporated the Welsh Masters outdoor track and field championship into their inaugural Masters Open meeting at the Outdoor Sports Centre, Broad Lane, Yate BS37 7LB on Saturday 12th August.

 

There is a pretty full programme with the notable exceptions of pole vault and steeplechase. 

Entry is via the below link and needs to be made by the end of the 4th August at the latest.

 

We are still adding officials to help, as the efficiency of the field events in particular will benefit from extra officials. Welsh Masters are paying the expenses of all officials and providing all the medals although we will not be receiving any income from the event, as this is too late in the day for any compromise arrangement. 

 

And again, due to the unusual nature of this event, we will identify the Welsh Masters members who enter, and medals will only be given to them, rather than our normal policy of additionally giving gold medals to guests who win their events.
