SCVAC T&F 2022
The message below is from Geoffrey Kitchener who manages the club's team for the Kent SCVAC Track & Field league. If you are interested in being kept informed of these opportunities please reply to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. below.
You may recollect that pre-covid, the club fielded men’s and women’s athletics teams (over-35s) in our local league, the Kent SCVAC league. Here, both beginners and seasoned athletes could enjoy a range of running, jumping and throwing events in an atmosphere of friendly competition.
We’re looking at resuming this in 2022 and I’m writing to give some dates and ask who might perhaps be interested in any of the meetings. You don’t have to have done any athletics events before; you don’t have to be a fast runner; anyone can join in and earn some points for the club. Any points will help! This email is just to sound out what interest there might be. No commitment at this stage; it’s just so that you can be kept in touch.
Currently these meetings are proposed:
1. Fri 6th or Fri 27th May (to be confirmed): Sutcliffe Park track, Eltham Road, Kidbrooke SE9 (Cambridge Harriers).
2. Fri 17th June: Erith Leisure Centre track (Bexley AC).
3. Fri 15th July: Tonbridge School track (Tonbridge AC).
4. Fri 29th July: Central Park, Dartford track.
I do not have details of events and programming yet. It used to be the case that the first event began 6.45 p.m. and the last around 9 p.m. The events previously offered have been 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 3000m, relays, high jump, long jump, triple jump, pole vault, shot, javelin, hammer, 2000m walk. The organisers are seeing how far these can all be fitted in. Events are sorted into age groups, 35+, 50+ or 60+ (this includes 70, 80, etc) years old.
So, what about giving it a try? Let me know at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you’d like to be kept in touch as regards further details as they are released.
Best wishes,
