The club runs friendly open competitions every last Tuesday of the month during the F&T season. As the events are run in the evening, with limited time, not all disciplines may be scheduled at each event, but rotated over the series.

All children over 8 years old are actively encouraged to compete: it does not matter what standard they are and help will be given by the officials so they know what to do.

As a guide the evening runs as follows;

  • Athletes should arrive by 5.30pm. Please check the competition timetable for the start time of a particular event. The younger age groups will finish at about 7.45pm.
  • An athlete can enter up to 3 events.
  • Entry fee is £5. Payment is made at the reception desk, as normal, and a ticket will be issued which should be taken to the registration desk in the clubhouse where you will be given a waterproof number which should be retained and reused for all EH Open Evening Competitions during the season.
  • This number should be attached to your vest with 4 pins at the front and 4 pins at the back.
  • Athletes should arrive at their event 5 minutes before the start time.
  • For running events, the marksman will allocate athletes to their heat.
  • For field events, athletes will have the opportunity for 1 or 2 warm-up throws/jumps.
  • Field Trials – U13 & Below 3 Trials, U15 & Above 4 Trials
  • Parents should stay for the evening to support and help their children get to their events on time.

NB U13s and above need to be affiliated to a club to compete, club vests are not required
