ATHLETICS FIXTURES 2018-2019


As we get ready to start back to training next week after the Summer break, we thought we'd let you have an idea of what the year ahead entails with the most recent Athletics Fixtures list for cross-country and Track & Field events for clubs and schools.

Please remember that the dates and times are all subject to change and that we do not have dates for events like the North Connacht and Connacht Schools Cross-country or Track & Field events. Likewise, there are no dates for local, county or national community games events.

Leitrim events are in black - for our Roscommon members, as the Club is registered in Leitrim, we compete in the Leitrim Championships.

A reminder too about entries for Connacht and National events. All entries for Juvenile members MUST go through the Club - you can contact the Club Secretary John Connolly with queries.

Entries for Seniors/Masters for Connacht events must go through the Club - entries for National events can be done by the athlete themselves through the Athletics Ireland website.

All entries MUST be paid for before the completed entry form is submitted.

Finally, the best of luck to all our members racing over the next 15 months!

2018-2019 SEASON - JUVENILE TRAINING

As we get ready to return to training in the first week of October, we want to outline a few changes for the coming year.

With an increase in Athletics Ireland Registration fees for all age groups due to come into effect from January 1, we have taken the decision to change our membership year from September to January.

This means that we will not be taking any new members in the PRIMARY SCHOOL GROUP until January 2019 when we will be taking new members in those age groups.

Existing members (members who joined in September 2017) are all paid up until the end of this year but will renew their membership at the end of this year.

New members will be taken in the Post Primary (Secondary School) group as there is not as big a restriction on space with these age groups. However, new members will pay only the Athletics Ireland Registration Fee and not the full membership fee until January.

Just to reiterate, we are not taking any new members in our Primary School Group until January 2019 when we will have a registration night.

New members are welcome for the Post Primary (Secondary) School group.

TRAINING FOR EXISTING MEMBERS ONLY WILL RESUME ON TUESDAY OCTOBER 2, 2018 AT CARRICK SPORTS COMPLEX

REMEMBER THERE IS A €3 WEEKLY FEE
