- UK CAU Inter-Counties Track and Field Championships
-
- This annual competition used to attract several thousand spectators to the now-demolished White City Stadium
to watch Senior Inter-County competition (well, Men's competition only). It later moved around various
venues and went dual-gender, incorporated in various other events. After fading out in recent seasons,
it was revived in 2024 as part of the EA Senior / Under 23s / Under 20s Championships (Birmingham, 19th/20th/21st July).
-
- Arrangements: Avon entered a joint team with the
Somerset AA
-
- Who Competed? Any potential team member needed to qualify for the appropriate age group in the Championships.
From this, Avon & Somerset (who only traced the entry details near the closing date) cobbled together
a team list (not easy, when the Roster system does not list County affiliation) from those who had already
submitted entries.
The combined team finished fourth (Women 3rd, Men 6th). Okay, only 13 County teams (plus the UK Armed Forces) entered,
(there are 36 Counties listed on the EA website's 'UK CAU' page, plus four Welsh Regions and four Scottish Regions, who could
potentially enter). But it's still a fine achievement, and our thanks go out to our (probably unknowing)
team members.
