News from Eastern Masters July 2025
Track & Field
We have one fixture left for the Track & Field League and then the final match at Grays. You can find information about the matches and results on our website, on our facebook page and Power of 10. The Inter Area Track & Field Challenge will now be held in York at the University Track on Sunday 17 August 2025. Our team managers are still looking for athletes to complete the teams – see facebook posts or contact Carey Hollick or Graeme Packman.
Looking forward to the winter and next season. Courtney Gunn is retiring from his roles as club statistician and results supremo for the T&F League. We need volunteers to replace Courtney in both roles. We also need volunteers to ensure the track & field programme goes ahead in 2026 to support Graeme and Carey. Send us an email if you can help.
