We trialled a successful RJT competition in March 2018, and after feedback from athletes, parents and coaches, we now have a series of RJT competitions planned for the summer.

There will be a "test" event on Sunday 24 March which is for RJT athletes only, so club athletes looking for an early season competition should enter the Edinburgh and Lothian Trials.

The series will start properly on Sunday 28 April, with the other events on Sunday 19 May, Sunday 23 June, Sunday 4 August and Sunday 15 September.

• Cost: Free
• Age Group: U9 (7+) to U15
• Time: 10.00 am - 1.00 pm (registration from 9.30 am)
• Eligibility: All events will be open to Livingston RJT/Club athletes only
• Events: At each competition athletes will compete in 3 individual events (run, jump and throw) and a team relay.

This new series will replace the Forth Valley League as our entry level local competition. The benefits of the series for the club are:

• All Club/RJT athletes who want to compete will be able to compete, with no limitations on space.
• All athletes will get to do 3 individual events and a team relay at every competition.
• Events at appropriate level for most RJT/Club athletes.
• Short format morning competition at local venue.

Entries for the 28 April event will open next week, and we will of course be looking for parents to volunteer to help at the events.

Thanks to club captain Iona McDonald who named the series.
