‼️HELP PLEASE‼️

We know how much so many people enjoyed the free athletics event throughout the Island Games - 5700 people were there in one session! We also received so much positive feedback on the fantastic spectator seating that Scott and his crew brilliantly built for us. Sadly, the time has come to take it down. Yes, we would love to keep it too, but it’s not to be!

Please show your appreciation for all of the fantastic athletics you were able to see and this brilliant addition to the venue that helped so many people enjoy it, by coming to help us deconstruct it tomorrow, Sunday at 2pm.

Please let us know if you can come and help. ... See MoreSee Less

So glad it was done this afternoon Aly. It’ll look so empty now but it was such a fantastic facility when we needed it 😁

Thankyou everyone, job successfully completed with plenty of volunteers this afternoon 🙌🏻😅

I can come, will be at 2.00pm

So sorry, Robbie is working on a roof and needs to get it finished before the weather changes. Hope you have enough helping hands 💪🏻🤞🏻

I'll come down

Me and Bri will be in to help.

I can come and help

I could have come in the morning but busy in the afternoon, sorry

I'd love to help, but I'm already helping at the Vintage Rally all day tomorrow.

I can come along. I’ll get Samuel and Annie to come too.

Apologies, I have absolutely no 💪 and my other half has been at the chiropractor twice this week so I'm afraid we aren't much help 🫣

I can come along.

Sorry I’m working tomorrow & Fionn is away.

Apologies I’m away tomorrow.

If there any members and their parents could spare a bit of time tomorrow to help the Club with this it would very much appreciate it. Thanks!

It was totally brilliant and a great addition. It certainly looked the part. Very sorry to be away this weekend and unable to help out.

HELP NEEDED

Sorry to look away from events in Birmingham but we need a bit of physical help tomorrow please!

Scott is looking for assistance deconstructing the spectator seating. The benches are reasonably heavy, so would need suitable folk available to shift them. Meet at 2pm at Picky, hopefully it'll only take an hour if we have enough folk to help.

Thank you all in advance - it was fantastic to have the seating during the games but it needs to come down this weekend. ... See MoreSee Less

🇬🇧FANTASTIC SEMI-FINAL RUN BY TAYLAH🇬🇧

Taylah Paterson had another fantastic run in the 100m semi-final of the British Championships. She finished fourth in the first of three semi-finals, with the top three from each going through to the final. Taylah’s time of 11.65 (+3.0mps) was the second fastest time of those who missed out on the final - a brilliant achievement!

Taylah’s wind-legal time of 11.66 from the heats earlier in the day sees her move up to 3rd in the Scottish rankings this year - fantastic!🙌🏻👏🏻🔥

OARC are pleased to continue to support Taylah in her travel for competitions outside Orkney. ... See MoreSee Less
