Beaton Park Management have announced that they have received a report from the installers that the track may have been damaged due to inappropriate spike use. Remember this track is for your use but please ensure you do the right thing. Spikes must be the right size and pyramid or christmas tree spikes are the only ones to be used. Beaton Park is going to search for a supplier and may have for the spikes for sale at the front of the Leisure Centre shop. You cannot use spikes that are over 7mm in length. You cannot start from non-start positions and cannot use your own personal blocks without centre permission. Please ensure you do the right thing, as the track is for your use, your club’s use and other athletes. Repairs and maintenance are done by WCC for our benefit but going against what is right by Management will mean a stronger and stricter policy.
Coaches are also advised to make sure they obey these rules. Also the inside lanes are not to be used for training purposes, but are to be maintained for competition and time trials only.
