Appeal for athletes

The Senior T&F League match on June 16th at Whitley Bay currently only has two athletes competing on behalf of Birtley - well done to Shannel Curtis and Rebecca Pottinger for stepping up, but where are the rest of you?! We are an athletics club, but hardly anyone seems to be interested in actually competing in a free to enter athletics competition. We're a composite team with S Shields, and we need to be fielding more athletes than this - remember u17s and upward can compete in this league, and a couple of hours away from studying might do you the world of good.
Please, PLEASE consider turning up and competing in an event - you don't even have to be great at it, league matches are all about the points, and someone competing in an event is better than no-one at all.
