Hi all

Apologies for the comparatively short notice, but I am planning to run a Level 1 Assistant Officials course at Radley College on Tuesday 21 April 2009 (6.30 - 9.30 pm).

I need to be sure I have sufficient numbers, so there is a deadline for applications: 11 April 2009. All applicants need to complete and return to me the attached licence application form - remembering to include a passport photo, and sending a cheque for £10 (made payable to England Athletics).

The course is suitable for relative newcomers to the sport, eg parents who want to help and/or officiate at meetings. I always advise Level 2 entry (bypassing Level 1) for those with good experience of officiating (even in an unqualified capacity).

" The Midland region final of the English Schools Combined Events Championships takes place on the Horspath Road track on the weekend of 27th & 28th June 2009. If you attend an Oxfordshire school, and wish to be considered for the Oxfordshire Schools' team for this, our home fixture, please contact Glynis Wheatcroft (wheatcroft@waitrose.com) by 31st May."

Many thanks

Jon & Glynis

Venue – Tilsley Park
Start time - 10:30am
Finish time - 4pm

Open to all coaches from Oxfordshire

Kind Regards
