Phased Return to Stadium Training for AAC Members

Posted: 14th Jul 2020 by Kate Dickinson

To all members of AAC:

We are in the process of introducing a gradual return to training at the stadium.

At this current time, we are having to plan carefully which groups we can run so not everyone will be back straight away. You will have been contacted by your coach to arrange a planned return to the track only. At the moment, we cannot use the field or have access to the Stadium, toilets, etc. In time, we hope to increase the number of groups that are able to train, so please be patient and together with your cooperation this can work.

Please make sure that you all read this important AAC Notice and abide by it. The guidance has been put in place for the safety of everyone. Please respect the information given otherwise the use of the track may be denied. Please remember: you cannot just turn up at the track and expect to train. We need to work with pre-arranged groups.

AAC Half-Year Membership Renewal 2020

Posted: 26th Jun 2020 by Kate Dickinson

As we approch the fourth month of lockdown, Ashford AC are trying to formulate some sort of more formal training regime for members. We are not yet able to access the Julie Rose Stadium track, due to the fact that it is not just an outside track but a stadium. We are going through various risk assesments at the moment, so fingers crossed. We are also organising training sessions at other outside venues working within the Government Guidelines of five athletes to one coach, and trying to gradually get as many groups going as possible so please bear with us. 

As of Saturday 27th June, we are opening the half-year membership online to allow you to renew your membership. This will enable you to continue to be an active member of AAC, and enjoy the phased, safe, and structured re-socialising of your athletics groups. It may be small to start with, and socially distanced,but it will be fun!
