Please see the link below to the results from the first open graded match. There was some fantastic performances and was great to see everyone competing.

Calling all Parents, Senior Athletes, Aunties, Uncles, Grans, Grandads etc. The Club has decided to venture into the realms of organising Open Graded events in partnership with Grangemouth Stadium.

These events heavily rely on qualified officials. Currently across Scotland officials are desperately needed to help with events such as ours. If we can home grow an official pool we could be in a unique position to independently host these events and to do this we need your help.

The clubs currently has a shortage of the following officials

Track / Starters / Timekeepers / Photofinish

If any of these would be of interest you can book yourself on any of the courses at – https://www.scottishathletics.org.uk/officials/courses-for-officials/ or we would ask you to please contact our Club Development officer Graham Chambers @ fvhcdo@gmail.com

Becoming an official could be easier than you think! Attend a single course which is usually completed in an afternoon or morning and then help officiate at 4 events to complete your training to Level 1. You should be able to cover these 4 events just helping out with our Open Graded Events, over the rest of winter and in the Summer.

With more officials we can secure great competition on our doorstep for all our athletes and provide and additional revenue for the club and Grangemouth Stadium with a hope to securing it for future.

Results have been calculated using the SATS Performance Tables which can be found here. Any queries please email President@Falkirkvics.com . Club Championship scoring comes from your best three events with at least one track and one field event needed to count.

Congratulations to all Winners. Medals will be presented at the annual club presentation night. This will be at the Dobbie Hall in Larbert on November the 12th 2022. Tickets will be on sale soon.

Please can you complete the link below for your availability for the upcoming Cross-Country Season 2022/23.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could complete this no later than September 13th 2022 by 12pm if possible as it will give us time to gather the information we require to submit the entries.

We would also appreciate any help at these events in any way whether you were able to take the Club Tent if you had space in your vehicle or as a Team Manager for the different age categories. If you are willing to help please email enquire@falkirkvics.com.
