Annual Report 2023
Grassroots to Greatness
Staging events in the post-Covid environment was difficult but we achieved some success in piloting a younger age-group competition with the help of Stockport Harriers at their track and then staging the return of the North West Combined Events championships in August.
The Junior NWCE was a success and provides us with some confidence to attempt it again. A minimal investment was required as even in pilot form the event almost covered it’s staging costs.
The full NWCE in August was a difficult event to bring together but a number of facets were encouraging; support from the County organisations who understood that the opportunity to hold their own County championships within ours meant they enthusiastically took it up, officials recognised the worth of the event to the sport and supported it well, and huge sections of the sport from all age-groups up to Masters athletes enjoyed the cross-sectional nature of our staging of the events.
The staging issues all revolve around facilities and equipment availability. We’re sure this will continue to be a major hurdle in staging future events but a challenge we accept on behalf of the athletes, coaches, parents and supporters.
