Officials already in the Welsh Athletics system will be eligible to receive the most relevant service recognition award as soon as it safe to do so.

"On behalf of Welsh Athletics, I would like to thank all our dedicated officials across Athletics in Wales. As part of our recognition to the Officials who support numerous events throughout the year. Without their continued support no event would be possible.

As you are aware, we released an Officials satisfaction survey last month to engage with our Officials community. Following this survey, it was highlighted that our Officials would like more in the way of rewards for progressing to a new official level and length of service milestones.

As part of my new role within Welsh Athletics, I am pleased to share this new reward scheme with our Officials community."
