Dear member,
As you will be aware the situation with coronavirus is changing daily. The Government has reinforced advice on social distancing while the majority of sporting events have been cancelled, despite the fact that many are under the 500 limit for outdoor events.
The MAWA committee have therefore decided that we will cancel the upcoming State Championships and all Sunday runs with immediate effect.
We know how much you all enjoy our events and the social interaction, but we think this is the right decision.
We will continue to run our Thursday evening track meets at ECAC and WAAS, with track only from 24th March. As usual there will be no winter competition at WAAS. We typically get 10 – 20 athletes at these meets so social distancing is readily achievable. We will have sanitiser on the table and ask all athletes to handwash before and after touching paperwork or equipment.
Richard Blurton
President
