Tom Pink Relays, Lee Valley The
Tom Pink relays moved South and were staged at the Lee Valley Athletic Centre.
This was the fourth time these innovative series of events had been held this
year. The initiative came about through the generosity of the late Alice Pink
and the AAA to whom the legacy was left.The AAA whilst no longer the governing body for athletics still has a role to play in supporting competition providers, stimulating and encouraging interest in the sport and acting as a focal point for the invaluable volunteers. The receipt of the legacy was most appropriate in its timing as it gives an ideal opportunity to meet these objectives in the run up to the Olympics in 2012.
