The passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II - guidance
09/09/2022 00:00, I Mewn Blog /
All at Welsh Athletics were saddened at the news of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and would like to share our condolences with the Royal Family.
In relation to implications for athletics activity in Wales due to take place, please refer to the relevant section of the National Mourning Guidance issued:
"There is no obligation to cancel or postpone events and sporting fixtures, or close entertainment venues during the National Mourning period. This is at the discretion of individual organisations.
As a mark of respect, organisations might wish to consider cancelling or postponing events or closing venues today and on the day of the State Funeral. They are under no obligation to do so and this is entirely at the discretion of individual organisations.
If sporting fixtures or events are planned for the day of the State Funeral, organisations may want to adjust the event timings so they do not clash with the timings of the funeral service and associated processions.
As a mark of respect, and in keeping with the tone of National Mourning, organisers may wish to hold a period of silence and/or play the National Anthem at the start of events or sporting fixtures, and players may wish to wear black armbands."
More information will be provided as it arises.
