Welcome to this years KYAL and we look forward to
good competition from the 24 teams (representing 12 clubs) composition of
divisions & allocation of bib letters is currently being worked on and will
be published here shortly. We know some were disappointed that because of
the log jam in this years competition diary we had to reduce the number of
meetings to 3. Even doing that we have found it necessary to adjust the
first meeting timetable because of the lack of alternative dates; and start
the meeting later than usual. With thanks to assistance from the Kent
Athletics Network and the Julie Rose Stadium we have been able to keep the
meeting. A special timetable for that day is on the website; for other
meetings the timetable is the same as the one shown in the KYAL Rules 2012.
Four Reminders:
1. Under rule 4 the club needs to provide bib
numbers.
2. You need to complete and send your
registration form to
kyalrecorders@kcaa.org.uk
at the very latest by Thursday, 12th April
3. You need to complete and send your Match 1
declaration form (boys) and
declaration form (girls) to
kyalrecorders@kcaa.org.uk
by Friday, 13th April (why not avoid back luck & get it in early!)
4. Recruit at least 4 “Officials” to bring with
you; 1 Track Judge, 1 Timekeeper & 2 Field Judges. Why not consider if you
have some U17 or U20 athletes who could possibly be your “officials” a great
chance for them to see a different side of the sport and they may go on to
get nominated as “Young Official of the Year” something which UKA is very
keen to promote.”
Well there we are; if you have any questions do
ask, thanks in anticipation as ever,
Yours,
David R Ralph
Chairman
