Would you be interested in joining a Sub-Committee for the Falkirk Victoria Harriers focusing on saving our Grangemouth Stadium?

As most of you are aware the Stadium is set for potential closure and we need everyone to know that the Stadium must stay. This is critical for the Health and wellbeing of the children in our community and we need to protect the future of this building . The Stadium has seen past and present stars of Athletics train and compete at this Stadium and is home to our budding stars of the future and to lose this building would be a crushing blow for Athletics.

We need to work together for the future of the Stadium.

If you feel you can help support this please complete the form below and someone will be in touch shortly.

Dear Members, Grangemouth Stadium has asked that any Parent, Helper or Coach that stays within the building during training time requires a Membership Card to be signed in when they are within the building. This card will have NO cost applied but you will need to go the the Front Desk at the Stadium and register for one from the staff.

The request is to ensure that the Staff know for Health & Safety reasons who is within the building at all times especially if an emergency evacuation was to occur.

Thank you for your support with this.

All please see link below for entries for the Penicuik 10K on Saturday 13th May

All, This is a gentle reminder that tomorrow (28th February 2023) will be the closing date for sending in your 2023 payment and Membership form for Falkirk Victoria Harriers.

Caroline Lawless will be in the Café at the Stadium, accepting Payment and Forms tomorrow night between 6.30 and 8.30 pm. You will also be required to have the form signed by your Coach if under the age of 16.

Thanks again for your support on this.

Just to make you aware that Laura Donaldson will be at the Stadium on 23rd February taking Club Kit Orders. Laura will be in the Stadium Café, between 6.30 and 8pm. This will be the last chance to place orders before the final orders go in for the month.

This is another call out to all of our Athletes aged from 16-23. We are holding our first Youth Committee meeting and are looking for your time to come along and take part. We have a couple of names that have committed their time but we would like to see a representative from all Training Groups within the Club as this is your chance to have your say on what you need and want from the Club.

Can you please complete the google form in the link below if you can attend or not. We would love to see a good mix of Gender, Age and Discipline join us on 1st March 7pm at the Club Hut.
