We invite all our younger Athletes to join our Youth Committee. We have now changed the age category to include 14 years and upwards to 23 years of age.

If you have already completed the Google Form no need to do it again and thank you as you are now on the Youth Committee group but we are looking for up to 10 Members from all coaching groups if possible.
Please complete the google form below if you wish to be part of this exciting opportunity. Our next meeting will be Wednesday March 29th 2023 at 7pm, Club Hut. It would be fantastic to see some of Younger Members attend.
The annual Down By The River 10k ran by Cambuslang Harriers is next month – Sunday 5th March.
It’s a fast, flat course with chip timing. If you are looking for a fast time or just running for fun, this is a great event for you. Spot prizes, winners prizes and course record prizes all up for grabs.
As you’ll know, events like this are key for small community clubs so please support as much as you can.

We have had a request from the Race For Life organiser for this years event on 25th June at Callendar Park. They are looking for anyone willing to volunteer as course marshals at the event. From working at other Race for Life events that have support from local running clubs, it really makes a difference to their participants (usually beginner runners or walkers) to be encouraged and directed by experienced runners who know exactly how important good marshals are!
The event details are as follows:
Callendar Park (start/finish) – route also goes through Callendar Woods
25th June 2023
Shift times – 9.30am – 12.30pm
Full role briefing and hi-vis vest given on the day
You can either email Lauren Robertson direct on lauren.robertson@cancer.org.uk or you can also sign up online at: https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/get-involved/volunteer/help-at-an-event
Just to make you aware that Laura Donaldson will be at the Stadium during the Open Graded Event tomorrow night, Tuesday 7th February, to take orders for any Club Clothing. Laura will also have stock of any Club Vests if anyone wishes to purchase.
Laura will be located in the same room as Declarations.
