Every good athletics club needs to know how to let its hair down and have a bit of fun at Christmas time after a hectic year.
In fact, the wet weather and conditions seemed to just make our annual Christmas Meet even better as a bunch of colourful Ashgrove Athletics identities gathered tonight at The Gap High School.
Necessity proved the mother of invention as the programme was re-shaped towards the only events that were actually possible – Discus, Shot and two new events the Short Track Long Jump and ‘Slippery Six’ – a 600m cross country/Hurdles race.
A big thanks to everyone for a really enjoyable night and a great year.
Training will continue as normal throughout the holidays but hoping those going away have a relaxing time with family and friends.
