As many of you know, Graham Smith stood down as Club President at our AGM in January. His impact on Victoria Park is immeasurable, he has been a dedicated member for around 50 years and served as Club President for most of the last 30.

Graham was awarded Life Membership in 2014, a testament not only to his outstanding achievements as a coach but also to his unwavering commitment to the club. Over the years, he has guided athletes to success at the World and European Junior Championships, the World Triathlon Championships, and the Scottish and National Cross Country Championships. He has also played a key role as Strength and Conditioning Coach for two members of the British 4x100m Relay Team and served as National Coach for 800m and 1500m athletes.

To mark the occasion of his standing down, current Club President Gordon Innes and Secretary Hugh Stevenson hosted a small gathering at the Burnbrae, joined by past Presidents Hugh Barrow and Albert Smith. It was a fitting tribute to a man who has given so much to our club and our athletes.

Thank you, Graham, for your incredible service, leadership, and dedication to Victoria Park!

Club Training Kit - Sale

As everyone is probably aware, Katie Alexander at Achilles Heel has found it almost impossible to re stock with Victoria Park training kit while Joma are still getting back up to speed following the lockdown.

Rather than purchase more kit of odd sizes, she’s decided to wait till the new year when we believe Joma will be able to supply the full range once again.

In the meantime, she’s reduced all of our club training kit to half price. While she doesn’t have a full range of sizes, you can buy the remaining Hoodies for £15 (kids) and £17.50 (adults), Training Tops for £9 (kids) and £11 (adults) and Fleece Tops for £13 and £14.

You can take advantage of this offer either in person at the shop on Great Western Road on via the online store at this link: https://www.achillesheel.co.uk/collections/victoria-park-city-of-glasgow-ac

Competition vests and crop tops aren’t included in the sale but there’s great bargains to be had thanks to Katie’s generosity.

The throws group had another visit from the Scottish Discus Champion and GB international Nick Percy. Nick took a two hour session on Tuesday evening at Scotstoun.

His experience and technical knowledge is second to none and I think everyone present benefited from his coaching.

Unfortunately we had to limit the numbers so apologies to those who missed out.

We’re hoping Nick will return to take another session in February or March.
