Masters Athletics |

The second year at Pickett’s Lock. The galleries below are mainly track action from throughout the weekend. My customary apologies to field eventers, and to my fellow sprinters. I just can’t be everywhere, and no, in response to many requests, I am not going to run with my camera! A “head-cam”, indeed! |

BMAF Indoor Championships, Pickett’s Lock, 23 and 24 February 2008 |
|
WMA World Masters Indoor Athletics Championships, Clermont Ferrand, France, 17 to 22 March 2008 |
|
Wow! A memorable week, for all the right reasons, and some of the wrong ones too. Big Championships are hard work when you’re racing and taking photographs, but I’d not have missed these. |

Sadly, a damp and dreary day. Sorry to the sprinters. I was too busy racing you to take your pictures! A good day for me, amongst the medals again. |

Events in 2008 |
|
Great competition on a windy day. Many of the best Masters Athletes in Europe taking part. And hey, I even have photos of throwers, jumpers and walkers! For the record, GB Masters won both the men’s and women’s competitions. Well done to all. |

Interland 2008, GB Masters v France v Belgium Julie Rose Arena, Ashford, Saturday 21 June 2008 |
|
A weekend of high winds, frustrated sprinters, several world age group records in other events, and some heavy rain. Usual apologies to athletes whose events were on at the same time as mine for my inability to be in two places at once! |

British Masters Athletics Federation National Track and Field Championships, Alexander Stadium, Birmingham 5 and 6 July 2008 |
|
The 16th European Veterans Athletics Championships, held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, from 23 July to 3 August 2008 |
|
I was in Slovenia both as an athlete and as a photographer for the Great Britain Masters Team. However, I have lots of photos of athletes from all over Europe. |
|
The 1st European Masters Games, held in Malmo, Sweden, from 30 August to 6 September 2008 |
|
A great event. I came back with a very large collection of photos from the track and field competitions at EMG 2008, and two gold medals. Click here to see my Malmo galleries

The British Masters Decathlon and Heptathlon Championships, Oxford, Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 September 2008 |
|
A very fine weekend’s sport, held in unusually good weather by this summer’s standards, and exceptionally well organized. |
|
Given the weather outside at the time, a good thing this was an indoor event! |
