UPDATE: Temporary team managers appointed for Welsh Masters Athletics T&F men's team

New team manager's plan for Welsh Masters Athletics

donhaleblog.blogspot.com/2025

Following an appeal on this blog last week from Rod Davies at Welsh Masters Athletics Ltd, Joe Horner and his colleague Adrian have agreed to try and put a team together asap for the forthcoming T&F events.

This is Joe's appeal below: - www.welshmastersathletics.co.uk

Hi everyone,

As you may have heard from Rod Davies at WMAL, the 2026 inter-regional is at Lee Valley on 14th March and Adrian and I have agreed to stand in for Brett in getting a team together.

We're new to this, don't know the membership as well as Brett, and there's a fairly short deadline to get the initial team submitted.

So, to help us along, it'd be greatly appreciated if you could reply to this letting us know whether or not you're available/ interested. "Not available" and "possibly available" replies, are as useful as "available" at this point while we find our feet!

Also, if any of you have seen the new Power of 10 site, you'll know that it's really rather rubbish for finding useful data so, if you're available / maybe available, please include the following in your reply:

* age group

* preferred events

* recent / expected performances in those events

* any other events you'd consider for space-filling

For those not familiar with the inter-regionals, age groups are run as 35-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70+

You can compete in a younger group but, if you do, must stay in that group for all events except the relays.

Available events are:

60m (all age groups)

60m hurdles (not 70+)

200m (all age groups)

400m (not 70+)

800m (all age groups)

1500m (all age groups)

2000m walk (not 60-69 or 70+)

4x200 relay (not 70+)

Long jump (all age groups)

Triple jump (not 60-69 or 70+)

High jump (all age groups)

Pole vault (not 60-69 or 70+)

Shot put (all age groups)

We have about 4 weeks to get our team submitted so quick replies would be really appreciated!

Thanks,

Joe Horner (email address below).
