Welcome 

Situated at the heart of Britain's oldest recorded town is the home of Colchester and Tendring Athletics Club.  We are a family friendly, inclusive club which takes pride in the opportunities that we give to all in athletics. Our dedicated volunteer coaches provide an excellent quality of coaching for all levels.  Younger athletes are encouraged with training programmes that include elements of all athletics disciplines through fun training activities.
As they progress through the club to U13's upwards, the training becomes more focused on specific events with tailored training programmes.
Please visit this web site regularly for information and news.

DATE FOR YOUR DIARIES - THE CLUB AGM WILL BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 11th

Final details of the format of the meeting are yet to be decided. More info soon.

Announcement following new Government restrictions in place from November 5th 2020

Dear Member

With the government announcement last night I felt I should contact you all to update you on the club's plans.

​Training this week Monday 2nd and Wednesday 4th - will go ahead as normal.

Taking into account the official advice regarding going out to exercise (either separately or meeting one person from another household), we have decided to suspend training from Monday 9th November. Hopefully we will be allowed to return to training from Monday 7th December.

This may also affect the AGM planned for Wednesday 11th November, so again look out for updates, but this does look to be a fairly simple online meeting, since no motions were received by the Club Secretary.

Stay Safe and Stay Fit,

Please fell free to contact me directly with your concerns @ apalmer7@sky.com.

​Best wishes,
Alan Palmer
Club Chairman
