And The Winner Is......................
On Saturday evening at the Hilton Hotel Glasgow, the Scottish Athletics Awards Evening took place. It was a fantastic event hosted by Bryan Burnett, with an inspiring, open and honest interview with Dame Kelly Holmes who spoke very about the Mental Health issues she faced during her career and, particularly, at the time of her double gold at the 2004 Summer Olympics. There were a huge number of athletics clubs from all over Scotland represented at the glitzy event with some fantastic results for both clubs and individuals alike. The highlight of the evening had to be the winners of the 2018 Impact Club Of The Year which was won by Team East Lothian - : a unique, successful and modern athletics club with the vision to engage and inspire the whole East Lothian community to improve health and wellbeing through athletic endeavour. Community engagement is at the heart of everything the club do, and they currently fund a Community Engagement Officer. This role has a particular focus on widening access to athletics to younger children and harder to reach communities. Team East Lothian also offer successful and popular Open Graded meetings to allow appropriate competition for all.
Congratulations to Team East Lothian on their award from everyone at Active East Lothian.
