Calling All Members!
£60 has been raised for the Club since we joined the Basingstoke Community Lottery in February. We’ve also had 5 winners.
As only 15 members support our page on the lottery, this is amazing. Imagine how much more we could raise if everyone supported us?
Tickets cost £1 of which 50p is paid directly to the Club.
Please, please support your Club by going to our page HERE
The context for the latest relax ation of COVID-19 restrictions is of progress towards normality but with continued social distancing albeit with an increased emphasis on personal responsibility. For the Club, we continue to stress the need for hygiene and social distancing . There is a remote possibility of a halt to the road map and even a return to tighter controls due to new variants in circulation.
The key points for training from 17 th May are:
Social distancing :
Government guidance is still to maintain 2m social distance (SD). We ask athletes to maintain SD when at rest and to avoid unnecessary contact
Athletes should not congregate unnecessarily before or after training . In any event please remember to maintain SD.
Health:
A thletes ’ should not attend training if they have any symptoms of COVID-19
For those who are showing symptoms please see the NHS website https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/symptoms/
For those returning to activity after a C OVID infection please see ‘Your Covid Recovery’ https://www.yourcovidrecovery.nhs.uk/
Athletes should have sani tiser with them at all times . This is especially important for throws and jumps .

We’ve had a great response to our last appeal for coaching helpers – we have 5 new members of the team…all are working with running groups . So… here is a n appeal from Deborah our throws coach. Deborah has become a successful national level Master’s throws champion and so leads by example!
Are you an athlete’s parent or enthusiast who would kindly consider supporting BMHAC as a Throws helper/Coach Assistant? That is how I started out when my son’s athletic club put the word out for helpers, and I decided to offer rather than stand around in the cold waiting for him to finish his training ! I then gained the knowledge to support my son in Shot Put and in a short while he ended up breaking our then club record before he moved over to r ugby , where his passion lies. Javelin was my initial throws knowledge and passion from my young er days before injury put an end to it, but was I was able to return to throws as a parent and now a coach.
Look ing forward to having you work with our young BMHAC athlete s !
As Deborah sa ys , no previous experience required and you would be helping the Club achieve its ambitions as a national level athletic club . Interested to know more? Email Leigh Henderson, Coaching Coordinator leighhen@gmail.com
This is one of the biggest events in the BMHAC calendar, and it relies heavily on an army of volunteers to make it happen.
Over the next few weeks you will be hearing about the help that will be needed, and to have the opportunity to volunteer.
