  • Athletics Inclusive April - June 2021
    ATHLETICS INCLUSIVE APRIL - JUNE 2021 Welcome to the second edition of the quarterly equality, diversity and inclusion news from UK Athletics, Athletics Northern Ireland, England Athletics, Scottish Athletics and Welsh Athletics. PARA INCLUSION Welsh Athletics As part of our ongoing commitment to closer working with Disability Sport Wales [DSW], Welsh Athletics is in the process of recruiting a jointly funded Para Athletics Pathway Coordinator. We have seen great recent success at the European Para-athletics Championships with a total of 7 medals from Welsh Athletes and we hope this joint working will continue and build on this success as the organisation become more closely integrated. The role will support the development and progression of Para Athletes within the Athletics Pathway (from community through to performance) as identified by Disability Sport Wales and Welsh Athletics. It will aim to ensure that all Para Athletes within the pathway have access to appropriate and meaningful community opportunities to support individual needs. There will also be mentoring and upskilling outreach support for athletes, coaches, clubs and key contacts in collaboration with the DSW Performance Pathway Team and WA. This is an exciting opportunity in a role which will be fully integrated into the Welsh Athletics Performance team at the start of preparations for the Birmingham 2022 Games. Scottish Athletics With athletics training returning across the country, a Safe Return to Training guide has been produced for wheelchair and frame running to remind athletes, coaches and clubs of the extra safety considerations. The guidance highlights equipment checks, how to minimise risks, training safely on the track and training safely on the road.

  • Towards a [Re]Conceptualisation of Power in High-Performance Athletics in the UK a CONSTERDINE Phd 2020
    Towards a [re]conceptualisation of power in high-performance athletics in the UK A CONSTERDINE PhD 2020 Towards a [re]conceptualisation of power in high-performance athletics in the UK ALEXANDRA CONSTERDINE A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sport and Exercise Sciences Manchester Metropolitan University 2020 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I lay the blame for this thesis at the door of my first Director of Studies, Dr Bill Taylor. As it was his foresight, patience and wisdom that has encouraged me to persevere, so he must shoulder some of the burden. Despite being constantly challenged in the last five years, I offer my unending gratitude and heartfelt appreciation to him. I also extend sincere thanks as well as further blame to my supervisory team. To Dr Laura Gale, my second Director of Studies, Dr Ryan Groom and Dr Samantha Oldfield who have provided me with their well measured advice and questions. Furthermore, I recognise that without the willing contribution from all who acted as research participants I would have no thesis at all. Therefore, thank you to everyone I interviewed and I hope to do justice to your involvement. To my well-meaning friends and family who forgave me for not being fully present, I extend my warmest gratitude. I am indebted to your foolhardy belief in me throughout my research. My parents, Rose and Bill, have kept me grounded throughout. Finally, to the two people most affected by my studies, Tom and Mikey, I thank you the most.

  • HATFIELD SWIMMING CLUB NEWSLETTER Volume No 6
    May 2014 HATFIELD SWIMMING CLUB NEWSLETTER Volume No 6 Message from Ian Wright Director of Swimming and Head Coach The past few weeks have involved a series of important competitions for the Club and many of our performance swimmers. You will find reports for most of these within this newsletter and I'm delighted to acknowledge that many of the results were extremely good. As you will know, the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow is the big swimming event of the year for everyone in British Swimming and promises to be a great spectacle and showcase of the sport in a fantastic venue. Hatfield is fortunate to be more involved than most in the Games due to the fact that we already have four individual qualifiers for three different countries - plus hopes that one other swimmer will also still be selected. British Champion Adam Brown was announced in the England team this past week, whilst Katie Armitage will be racing for Scotland in their home Games. In addition, Amarah & Elinah Phillip will become the first ever swimmers from the British Virgin Islands to compete in the Commonwealth Games, a fact that will have a very significant positive impact on swimming in that country. It's also great news and exciting times ahead for our Head Age Group Coach Samir Ahmed as he has been chosen to accompany the Phillip girls at the Games as the coach for BVI. In other key news of the past month, we were delighted to see our US based life member Adam Brown win two titles (50 & 100m Freestyle) at the British Championships and it was great for the Club that Levi Lucas made it two Hatfield swimmers in the top 4 of the 50 Free, only 0.4 behind Adam's winning time.

  • Swansea Harriers Athletics Club Annual Report 2018-19
    SWANSEA HARRIERS ATHLETICS CLUB ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19 1 Preface First and foremost I would like to thank all the volunteers who have given up so much of their time to help the club. The Trustees, Team Managers, Coaches, Café Staff and Officials who all work so hard to make the club a success. At the moment they number about 100, but we are still short of officials in particular and would welcome people to help as Timekeepers and Judges. Many thanks to Sue Griffiths our Treasurer for compiling the Financial Report and our Secretary Tony Clements in compiling this report along with the contributors to the different sections. It was decided at an EGM of the club in October to change the Date of our Annual General Meeting to the month of January with the Financial year ending on the 30th September the same date as the Track and Field season ends. This was at the request of the Charity Commission. So for this year the gap between our AGM’s has been extended. After 2018 which was one of the clubs most successful years as is sometimes the case with sporting organisations there were not the same successes achieved in 2019. However there were many pleasing performances. British International Vests were gained by Joe and Hannah Brier on the Track and Carrie Hughes, Kristian Jones, Dewi Griffiths, and Verity Ockenden at Cross Country. We were delighted with their selection and wish them well for the future. 7 of our club members have gained funding of some kind from the Governing Body with future Commonwealth Games in mind, Hannah and Joe Brier, Lauren Williams, Jonathan Hopkins, Josh Griffiths, David Greene and Dewi Griffiths, the latter with Olympic podium place funding.
