"On behalf of Welsh Athletics, I would like to thank all our dedicated officials across Athletics in Wales. As part of our continued recognition to the Officials who support numerous events throughout the year. Without their continued support no event would be possible. After 4 years we have now refreshed our reward scheme (2024) these rewards are distributed for progressing to a new official level or length of service milestones".
