Heavy Events (Scottish Athletics)
The implements that were not to standard last year have been repaired. We have an official scale now, all the implements will be weighed prior to the competitions.
We have ordered new cabers. This was made possible by the support we received at our fundraising breakfast in early February. A big thank you to the Y’s Men & everyone who participated in helping & supporting our need.
Still looking for more 2012 competitors, & volunteers for the heavies! Get in touch with us if you're interested!
