UK Inter Counties Competition
The UK Inter Counties Union Athletics Championships will be held at the Bedford International Stadium on 29th and 30th July 2017. This is in conjunction with the England Athletics Senior AAA’s Championships.
As previous years, Derbyshire is invited to enter two athletes per event into the Inter County Championships, providing the athletes have entered the England Championships in the normal way, and they have met the required entry standard. Both Championships have separate medals but all races and field event competitions are joint, and the entry standards are mostly identical.
Athletes cannot enter the Inter County event alone. All athletes must have entered the England Championships, be a registered athlete and paid the entry fee. U20’s can enter provided they attain the entry standard. Please note that senior throwing implements and hurdle height spacings will be used.
Any athlete with a Derbyshire qualification by birth, residence or Armed Forces posting will be entered into the Inter County event if they so wish. Some may find this useful as this counts towards end of year national Merit Rankings. Entries into the England Championships must be made by the athlete themselves. Entries into the Inter County event can only be made thereafter by contacting the Derbyshire event secretary for this competition. Please contact Julie Feeney jefeeney24@outlook.com if you wish to be entered, deadline 6th July. Please give you name, DoB, EA registration number, event and pb. If there are more than two athletes per event from Derbyshire only the top two based on Power of 10 rankings will be selected (but this does not affect the entry into the England Championships).

Helpers Needed at County Championships
The organising committee of this years Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire County Championships (May 13th and 14th, Moorways) urgently need additional helpers for a variety of ancillary roles.
Could you offer your time to help stage our biggest event of the year? We urgently need helpers to work in the medal presentation area, help with seeding (keyboard and spreadsheet experience useful), walking results and paperwork from one area to another, registration of athletes and officials, raking sandpits, hurdles movers, car park duty etc etc. Whatever time you have to give - both days, one day, half a day, job share with a friend - please let us know. You don’t need experience or a qualification - we just need bodies! A full list of roles can be found on this website under the ‘Championships’ tab (look for the ‘Ancillary Roles and Responsibilities’ tab within).
Likewise any qualified official who is available to assist (any level or discipline) and hasn’t offered their availability it’s not too late! Please contact Michael (below).
Please get in touch immediately with your name and any role preference to Julie Feeney jefeeney24@outlook.com or Michael Heffernan michael.heffernan3@hotmail.co.uk
