The WKU Spring Invitational Competition 2019 was held on Sunday 5 May at Hutton Moor Leisure Centre, Weston super Mare.

Thank you to everyone who supported the event – athletes and their friend and families who attended, referees and officials, and all helpers on the day, especially those who traveled great distance.

Also big thanks to all those who helped set up on Saturday. As always, we are grateful to table officials and those who covered their breaks. And particularly our WKU colleagues who traveled from Colchester and the East of England to assist with running the event.

Well done to all the athletes who took part. We look forward to seeing you again for the next WKU Winter Invitational Competition in November 2019.

Please see the homepage gallery for more images of the day – many thanks to Paul Green for his photographs.

Well done to all the athletes who completed on Sunday.
