Travel in Tier 4

scottishathletics have updated their guidance to clubs in relation to athletes travelling to training in a Tier 3 or 4 area.

The change now allows athletes to travel up to five mile from the border of their own local authority area. Given the location of the AAA in relation to North and South Ayrshire, this will allow athletes from these areas to attend training at the club through the week.

Unfortunately, if you live in East Renfrew, South Lanarkshire or Dumfries and Galloway, you are out with the five miles and should not attend the club until this restriction change and we move down at least one level.

I am sure this news will be welcomed by all members and will allow the athletes to continue their own development.
