Info
Fantastic to see so many families out enjoying themselves on yet another gloriously sunny day. Thanks to Moira and Alistair for organising a superb coaching session then to Alistair, Aly, Donald and Elaine for planning and organising the event.
This was a coaching session followed by a small event for TAY members only to allow club members who are learning to organise and run the SI electronic timing software a chance to test out their newly-acquired skills at a "live" event without the pressure of large numbers of entrants. Well done to all entrants and helpers!

Safety and Risk
A comprehensive risk assessment will have been carried out by the organiser, but participants take part at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety during the event.
Keep It Clean campaign - Forestry Commission Scotland
Our forests are at risk from tree pests and diseases. These can dramatically affect the health of our trees, upsetting the delicate ecosystem balance and devastating large areas of woodland.
Pests and diseases hitch a ride in mud and debris on shoes, paws and tyres, ending up in new forests. Here, they can spread rapidly in environments with no natural resilience.
