A member of the Bellville club, Quintus van Rensburg, have recently passed a WPA (Western Province Athletics) qualification course to become a WPA technical official.
WPA technical officials oversee the running of all WPA events. They ensure that events are of a high technical standard. They enforce rules, judge placings, record times, check equipment, and generally see that organisational standards are met.
To qualify as a WPA official candidates must attend lectures and pass a written examination with a final mark of at least 60%.
