The 300m track is adjacent to the Health Centre car park. Meet at 6.45pm for a 6.50pm start

Please enter through the entrance at the lower side off the Health & Fitness center, NOT the upper entrance as that is for staff members only. Then follow the entrance path with the building on your left & the car park will become visible after a small chicane. There is an all-weather pitch directly in front; please turn to the left & walk toward the other all-weather pitch which also has a fence – the grass field will become visible on your right.
