AAA STANDARD BADGES PLEASE READ AND RESUBMIT AN EMAIL IF YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THESE AWARDS

Unfortunately the link on the contact tab has been broken, so any emails sent claiming these badges has not been received, therefore it is unlikely the grade 1 badges will be ready in time to be awarded at the AGM, I will do my best to have these badges and certificates ready by the end of next month, apologies for any inconvenience caused.

The Jack Petchey Fund is again providing AAA standard badges for the U13-U17 age groups,  paid up members of K&P who competed during the summer 2017 season are eligible.

This year we are doing things slightly differently to previous years, as badges are expensive and not all athletes want them.  So please can you check this link:  https://www.englandathletics.org/the-amateur-athletic-association/aaa-standards Click onto the standards document and if you have achieved the times or distances for your age group and would like a badge and certificate, then please contact me, Julie Reynolds via the Contact tab, with the event(s) and performance and I will buy the badges requested.  All badges can be collected at Kingsmeadow on a training night at the end of February.

To keep costs down the following will apply:

• Outdoor performances only.
• For U13’s 75m and 150m and 1200m only issued if 100m or 200m or 1500m have not been achieved, so each athlete can only receive 75m OR 100m, 150m OR 200m and 1200m OR 1500m, whichever is graded highest.
• Only AAA results that appear on The Power of 10 can be used, it is up to the athlete to make sure their profile has all performances for the season.
• Wind assisted performances are not eligible.
• Combined events scores will not be included, however standards achieved during combined events will count.

Please contact me by 15 February as I will be ordering the badges in one batch, anyone wanting a badge after this date can order them direct from EA at their own cost.
