Whilst there were rumours that the swimsuits rules that apply from January 1st 2010 would be relaxed for Masters events, it has been announced that that will not be the case.

In summary, you can only wear one costume, it must be of textile fabric and you can't have zips etc. For men, the legal suit coverage is above the knee and below the navel. For women, above the knee and below the neck, not covering arms or shoulders.

These rules will be applied at the upcoming Dorset 1500/800m races.

Entries for the 1500/800m events to be held at Littledown on the 20th February close mid-day Saturday 30th January.

Entries received after this date will only be accepted if there is a spare lane available.

This year's Valentine Gala to be held on February 7th at Osprey Leisure Centre has regretfully been cancelled due to the lack of entries, possibly related to the recent spell of bad weather.

All entry fees will be returned in due course.

The gala will be run next year and Weyport Masters SC hopes it can count on your continued support.
