It was a quieter week following the celebratitive mood of our awards night. Nonetheless, there were great parkrun performances with Olivia 1st with a PB at South Beach. A reminder to athletes and parents that weather is of course getting extremely wintery, so always come prepared to training.
There are lots of events coming up over the winter, check out the fixture list below and check back here for more details of whats happening.

MASSIVE PLEA FOR HELP FROM OUR PARENTS & FAMILY MEMBERS
Athletics can only run thanks to the support of volunteers. One thing we are desperately short of is FIELD OFFICIALS. These are volunteers who can help run field events at T&F comps, in particular the NEYDL. As a participating club, we are required by the rules to provided qualified officials at NEYDL events, something we have struggled to do last year. This year, if we are unable to fulfill our obligation to provide officials, we will not only lose points, but also we will be limited in the numbers of athletes we can enter into field events. This is something that we cannot allow to happen.
If you wish to consider starting on the officiating journey, then please know that you will have the full support of the club and all fees will be paid in full by the club. Officials receive expenses, and have opportunities to progress if the ambition is there. Officials from Blyth have recently been in action at World-Class Diamond League events, and will testify that it is the most rewarding experience.
Find our more HERE or ask any of the coaches for more info
