BLACKHEATH & Bromley are on the look out for people interested in taking up pole vaulting.

The club has enjoyed much success in this event in recent years with youngsters Scott Huggins, Rachel Arnheim and now Emily Godley all gaining international recognition.

B&B will be aiming to put on an introductory session during the half-term break.

No previous experience is necessary although there are certain attributes which are useful to succeed at the event such as speed and jumping ability.

A good gymnastic background has proved to be an advantage to vaulters and people who have grown too tall to become truly successful gymnasts may enjoy this opportunity to change events.

However, interest, enthusiasm and enjoyment are as important for this as any event.

To register an interest and to obtain further details budding Bubkas and Isinbayevas should contact the club's coaching co-ordinator John Blackie on 020 8650 4262 or e-mail him at john@johnblackie.com
