Athletics open meetings - www.openmeetings.co.uk

23 Nov, 2008  No Comment

During the summer I tend to compete in a lot of open meetings. The reason for this is that I compete for Newark AC in a few league meetings but as I live in London I can’t do them all. Open meetings are perfect for a bit of competition practice and of for setting PBs without the pressure of competing in 800 other league events.

The problem with open meetings is that they are notoriously difficult to locate. Searching online does not return a great deal of results. The majority of athletes find about open meetings through word of mouth.

As a result, I decided to setup a new website (openmeetings.co.uk) that simply lists open meetings by date and/or region.  The site is free to use for athletes and clubs.
