Inclusive Athletics Workshop

As part of the Club Together programme, Scottish Athletics are offering clubs the opportunity to put their coaches and assistants through and Inclusive Athletics workshop for FREE (normal cost £300).  This is a 3 hour workshop.  As they are offering this to all CT clubs, they are looking to get dates in the diary for next year.  We require enough people to go on it (min 6 – 8) and if you are interested let Andy Kyle or Tommy Graham know so that we can feed back dates of when we would like to have this workshop delivered.
