K&P Awards

Feels like a long time ago (sorry it’s late!), but we would just like to do a quick thank you to all the hard work and effort that went into organising the K&P AGM & Awards night back in February, in particular @lester.shoots for capturing the night. And, of course, congratulations to all the award winners for your dedication to the club and to your athletics career.

It was a successful night with a large turn-out, with lots of discussion about how the club will be moving forward in the coming months. Obviously, this has been put on halt a little bit and unfortunately our athletes cannot compete at the moment, but we are very eager to get back to it.
