Following the move into new tier based restrictions we are hoping to be able to open from next Thursday. We are currently awaiting new guidance from England Athletics and for Stevenage Borough Council to re-open the stadium. As soon as this is in place we will contact you regarding December's sessions. This might be at very short notice especially for those hoping to train on Thursday so please keep an eye on your emails and return the test and trace form as quickly as possible. If you paid for November's sessions payment will be rolled over into December. We will be running sessions until Tuesday 22nd December when we will be closed over the Christmas period.

We have had confirmation this morning that due to Government restrictions Stevenage Borough Council will have to close the track and stadium for all sporting activity until the 2nd of December. England Athletics have this evening comfirmed that all oraganised club and coaching activity needs to stop during this time. Should these regulations change during this period and we are able to resume some kind of organised club training before this date we will let members know via this page, our website and through email. Any payments made for November's sessions will be rolled over into December. Arrangements for December's sessions including our Christmas closing will be emailed to those currently training towards the end of the month. We would like to thank all coaches, volunteers athletes and parents who have been so supportive since the beginning of September to enable us to at least have a couple of months of relatively normal training. We very much hope we can continue from Thursday 3rd December onwards.

Training will take place as usual on Sunday 1st November, Monday 2nd November and Tuesday 3rd November. We are waiting an update from England Athletics as to what will happen from Thursday. We will update this page as soon as we can.

If you attended our March 2020 induction session, are in Yr 7 and above and wish to resume your 4 week trial can you please contact us. Thank you

The club were saddened to hear this week that Vaughan Taylor had passed away. Vaughan was a former chairman of Watford Harriers and a highly experienced coach. He was a familiar face to all those attending athletics fixtures across the county and beyond. Our sympathise goes to Vaughan's family and all those at Watford at this sad time.
