Few points which athletes should make note of:
-Athletes can only compete in events they have been registered for, so they should ensure that they know what they have been registered for. All problems on the day, please seek out a coach/official as soon as possible.
-All athletes should ensure that they are familiar with the order of events so they don’t miss an event they have been registered for.
-All athletes have to wear club singlet when competing.
More details in the letter from the County competition secretary.
Big numbers taking part in the Bandon Fit4Life group with over 100 registered since the start of the year.
Great credit to the various club officials who are involved.
There is something for everyone and for anyone else interested the various groups depart from Kellehers at 8pm every Tues.
