- The Lincoln Sports Partnership and LWAC will be hosting a Street Athletics event on the cycle track at Yarborough this Thursday.

A local final will be held later in July at Sincil Bank. Several
youngsters may then get the opportunity to represent Lincoln in the national finals at Manchester later in the Summer.
The aim of Street Athletics is primarily to encourage people who are not necessarily involved in athletics to come and have a go.

Spread the word to anyone you may know who could be interested in coming along and having a go. Can you Help Out?: We would greatly appreciate some volunteers for assisting with registration, timekeeping and perhaps with running a leader board (no experience necessary). If you can assist, please let Darrell Helas know this on Tuesday evening or contact via e-mail at secretary@lwac.org.uk. LWAC have also been asked if we can provide volunteers for the next Street Athletics event on 13th July at Birchwood Leisure Centre. |
