TRACK & FIELD

The South West League

Some of the Forum clubs participate in Track & Field competition such as the Devon Open Series. The Armada AF Team has been set up to give everyone in the Forum clubs a chance to take part in Track & Field.

The team competes in Division 2 of the South West League. This is a league for both juniors and seniors who compete together. There are 9 clubs in the division from all over the South West. The level of competition is good but it is a very friendly league which welcomes newcomers and those not used to track and field competitions.

The Forum has contributed £1000 to the costs of taking part in the league (affiliation fees and transport) so costs for each club are small.

Here are the diary dates for the upcoming season:

We will be hiring a coach for the fixtures at Braunton and Yeovil.  There is usually a good atmosphere on the trips and, thanks to the Forum, it is a cheap day out.

This season, in addition to the Armada team, an agreement has been made with two of the leagues which Plymouth AC take part in, to allow members of Erme Valley Harriers, Tavistock AC, Plymstock RR and Plymouth Harriers to represent Plymouth AC.
