Kent County A.A. will re-imburse the full cost of track hire, together with the
cost of Officials’ refreshments (up to a maximum of £150.00) plus the full cost
of First Aid facilities. Clubs must submit an invoice, together with copies of

soon as possible after the fixture.
5.3
Host clubs are required to provide hot and cold drinks for officials and a light
lunch for 5 officials per club/team/composite

The host club shall ensure that a suitably qualified Chief Starter; Chief
Timekeeper; Track Referee;
Starters’
Assistant; Field Referee and
2 Clerks of the Course
are all appointed, in addition to a Meeting Manager and an Announcer.

to see who may have expressed an interest in officiating.
5.5

6.
CONDUCT OF FIXTURES
6.1 Clubs should,
where possible, ensure athletes arrive at the venue of the match at least 30
minutes before the 1st event in which they are due to compete. When
they have field officials on the first events, they must arrive in suitable time
to supervise athletes’ warm up. Failure to do so would mean the field official
would not be eligible for points (see rule 10.4).
6.2
An athlete failing to wear a club vest may not compete.
6.3
Non-scoring athletes from member clubs may compete in all events but will be
limited to 1 athlete per club/team/composite.
This will be strictly adhered to and on occasions may
be limited depending on the facilities available. The meeting declaration form
will confirm where non-scoring will be in operation. NB track athletes
may compete in spare lanes or in separate races as appropriate.
Non-scoring Club relay teams may be permitted, when using an 8 lane track, but
will be limited to 1 team per
club/team/composite for each relay event. The meeting
declaration form will confirm which non-scoring relays will be in operation.
6.4
Non-scoring athletes MUST be declared at least 60 minutes prior to the
start of the event.
6.5
Both age groups are limited to 4 events per athlete, and if doing so, 1 event
MUST be a relay. This includes any non-scoring events in which they take
part.
6.6
Where a walking event is included in the total, the competitors shall be
restricted to a maximum of 3 running or walking events (including any relay) -
UKA rule
141 (S2). This includes any non-scoring events in
which they take part.
6.7
No athlete in either age group may compete in both 800m and 1200/1500m at the
same meeting.
7.
