21st Mar 2021. Club Nights to Resume on Tuesday 30th March.
Club nights are to resume on Tuesday 30th March, with some restrictions in place.
Due to reduced opening hours, please note the following :-
JUNIOR JETS will start at 17:45 - 18:45. There will be 15 minutes time gap for cleaning etc before the next session, which will start at 19:00. All members need to be off site for the stadium to close at 20:30.
The same safety measures will be in place as before lockdown. We must ask that there are no spectators but athletes under 18 do require an adult to be present (1 per family unit).
We would also like volunteers to help out with coaching and registering & taking training fees. The club is happy to fund anyone who shows a dedicated interest in initially being an assistant coach, as due to group size restrictions, we will need more volunteers to oversee the extra groups.
If road runners want to meet up to run in groups of 6, then please meet in the car park, away from the stadium.
We look forward to seeing you all again.

17th Mar 2021. Latest Council Proposals for Thornes Park Athletics Stadium.
Wakefield Council have decided that the location of the proposed new 3G pitch at Thornes Park Athletics Stadium is to be moved, after concerns raised by Wakefield Harriers, and other athletics users of the stadium. Having such a pitch in the middle of the track would have meant no long throwing events, and so no athletics league fixtures for the club. So this is a welcome decision by the Council.
More detailed designs for the stadium will now be drawn up, and put forward for scrutiny later this year.
