Just sharing another reminder from Athletics South about the hammer cage netting, and the need to lower it after using the circle for training.![]()
![]()
Especially relevant with the current weather we are getting, but applies at all times.It is imperative that the hammer cage net is lowered each time after use. All members of the Athletics South community are asked to lend a hand whenever possible to ensure this occurs.![]()

We cannot afford to continually make repairs to the netting and uprights as a result of damage in strong winds.
