Introduction to the League
The Avon Track and Field League was set up in 1984 to provide
locally-based Track and Field competition for clubs in or around
the Bristol / Gloucester area. The number of participating clubs
has varied over the years. The organisation is not connected with the
Avon Athletic Association (there's no rivalry: we just carry out
different functions in the sport).
There are four fixtures each season, scheduled if possible to avoid the
other League fixtures to which member clubs are commited. There are events
for all age groups including Under-11's and Masters: as we can't include
all events for all age groups and both sexes in a
single afternoon, the League operates to two programmes: Rounds One and
Three operate to Programme A, and Rounds Two and Four to (after a flash of
blinding inspiration) Programme B.
Thanks to all who helped to put on the first fixture of 2008, and in
particular to the Stroud AC members who turned out so early and in such
good numbers to set up the equipment. The provisional results of the fixture are
now up on the site.
