Regrettably work on the athletics track at Craigswood has been stopped for the winter due to the bad weather conditions.

Laying the new track surface requires dry conditions, low wind and moderate temperatures.

Progress during October was slow due to the bad weather, and the contractors and project manager have agreed that there is too high a risk over the quality of the track to continue laying the surface in the current and forecast conditions. The situation will be reassessed in March.

Obviously this is very frustrating to all concerned, but hopefully everyone will appreciate the reasons behind the decision.

Training on Wednesday nights at Craigswood will continue as normal over the winter, with the coaches working hard to make the best use of the sports hall and other outdoor areas to deliver an alternative winter training programme.

For training on other days, please confirm arrangements with your coach on Wednesdays.
