East Anglain League (EAL) Officials
Thanks to all that stepped up to help on Sunday with track officiating.
We are obliged as a club to have track and field judges including timekeepers. We do not currently have anyone qualified as officials.
The club through Bedfordshire athletics network will pay for courses that are only a couple of hours long to learn and qualify for these roles. The club needs some new volunteers for these roles
Those at the event on Sunday will have heard the continuous plea for help in these areas. Event organisers are in the right to cancel a meeting or disqualify a team if they do not fulfil their commitments.
Most event organisers will accept help from untrained volunteers on the day and I call on you all to consider volunteering in the future to help the events run smoothly and finish on time as well as allowing all athletes to have their times recorded.
The first event at any meeting is the Hurdles, Parents please also provide help in setting the hurdles out and adjusting them between races. Many hands make light work and keep the programme on time.
I will be adding the below additional roles to the events we officiate to stagger the helpers, so individuals are not on the steps checking off numbers all day.
Hurdles – Time Keeper, Placement team (spot number on vest of finisher, record order. It is that easy! Ask Terry and Lee)
All track races 80m, 100m – 1500m Time Keeper, Placement team
