NEMAA are in urgent need of marshals for the upcoming cross country championships. If members of your club have entered and you're going along to cheer them on, how about doing it from a marshalling position while you're there? You don't even need to be supporting anyone in particular, just come along anyway and we'll give you a jazzy yellow vest to wear for a couple of hours - any offers of help will be greatly appreciated, please contact George Routledge via his email Thank you in advance!

Entries can be made via the Race Entries area of the club shop (you can also renew your membership via the shop if you haven't already!) Closing date is Sunday 28th January. NO ENTRY ON THE DAY. Please ask your clubmates to contact George Routledge if they would like to help marshal the event.
Following on from the success of last season's Nuneaton outing, NEMAA are sending a team to the Lee Valley Indoor Track and Field Champs on Sunday 25th February. If you would like to be considered for the team, please complete the application form linked HERE. You will then receive an invoice for a refundable £20 deposit (to be repaid if you compete on the day, or are not chosen for the team).
This is an open competition so you don't even need to be a member of NEMAA to win a medal - make sure your club are aware and get them to get their entries in!
Full details and entries HERE The NECAA Cross Country Championships take place at Thornley Hall Farm on November 18th. The Champs include a Masters category (40+) for both men and women. Full details and entry form can be found on the NECAA website
Not long to get your entries in for the following events:-
NEMAA Weight Pentathlon on Saturday Sept 9th - only 8 places remaining! ENTRIES HERE NECAA/NEMAA Pentathlon on Saturday Sept 16th - ENTRIES HERE BMAF/NEMAA 10K Track Championships (within Pentathlon Champs on Sept 16th) - ENTRIES HERE This last event is a rare chance at a BMAF medal on home ground - don't miss it! The final fixture of the North East Masters Track and Field League took place at Monkton Stadium last night, but before the action got under way a minute’s silent tribute followed by a round of applause was called upon for one of the region’s leading officials who recently died. Tommy Morgan, a life member of Wallsend Harriers, acted as field referee at not just local events but was also often called upon to officiate at national fixtures where his knowledge was greatly appreciated. Condolences to Tommy’s family from everyone connected with athletics here in the region. RIP.
Bill McGuirk As I'm sure the athletes of Jarrow and South Shields are very aware, they are very close to each other (and we're not talking about their proximity on the map), with the Grand Prix for the ladies still able to go either way on Monday.
In the individual categories, we have Andy Pattison and Anthony Liddle neck and neck in the M35 sprints, whilst Jackie Murdy (S Shields) and Linda Smith (Jarrow) have 1 point between them in the W55 middle distance category - will the arch rivalry for top GP position between the clubs spur the ladies on? We'll have to see on the night! Marie Bell and Lesley Charman are both tied for top position in the W45 jumps category, with both ladies consistently scoring 6 points in their respective events - can they both hang on and finish the season on a perfect set of scores and a tie? And of course, after all the excitement of the final match of the season, we have the RELAYS to look forward to - that bit at the end of the night that is organised chaos, but hopefully also good fun for everyone taking part. Look forward to seeing you all there, and hopefully there'll be medals to collect for the individual grand prix winners (I'm hoping to be able to finalise the scores on the night). Could the winners of last year's team prize please bring their trophies in so we can present the winning teams on the night, thank you! Huge apologies to those athletes who turned up tonight to find that all field events had been cancelled. Unfortunately it had been hoped that the full match would be able to go ahead, but the decision to cancel was made following an inspection by our field referee, as it was deemed unsafe to throw and jump, given the condition of the infield and pits which were very waterlogged and/or flooded. Any athletes who were only entered for field events will be refunded (apart from season pass holders, sorry!). We hope the track athletes enjoyed their events despite the rather damp conditions!
