Following an appeal on this blog last week from Rod Davies at Welsh Masters Athletics Ltd, Joe Horner and his colleague Adrian have agreed to try and put a team together asap for the forthcoming T&F events.

This week Joe Horner confirmed the latest updates and news relating to the forthcoming Inter-Regional championships at Lee Valley.
Hi everyone,
As you may have heard from Rod Davies at WMAL, the 2026 inter-regional is at Lee Valley on 14th March and Adrian and I have agreed to stand in for Brett in getting a team together.
We're now in the happy position of having an almost full team for the Inter-Regional but still need to fill the following spaces if we can - every event we compete in is extra points, regardless of the result, so we could pick up at least an extra 7 team points here!
V35-49: 60m hurdles (99cm hurdles) and 2km walk.
V60-69: High Jump (opening height 0.9m, progression 5cm).
V70+: 60m sprint, long jump, shot put and high jump (opening height 0.9m, progression 3 cm).
* You can compete in a "younger" age group if you want but must stay in that age group for all events.
* I've attached the provisional timetable for the day to give an idea of travel times - it's a late start / finish this year!
If you're available and think you could help with one of these events - regardless of your expected results - and would like to earn a Welsh Masters vest (available on the day if you don't already have one) then please let us know .
Often at this meet the overall placings are decided as much by how many events a team's entered as they are by individual results.
Thanks, Joe Horner
