We throw on selected Sundays throughout the year at Duncan Mackinnon Athletics Track ($5 for members and $10 for non-members, however all participants must be financial VMA members).  Training and competition days start at 12:45pm unless otherwise stated. Earlier arrival to help with set up is always welcome.  At the conclusion of activities we enjoy a chat over a cuppa with cake or biscuits – donation of a plate to share or a gold coin is appreciated.

The Throwers are a friendly group and are willing to assist anyone who would like to have a go at throwing on a one to one basis or in a group.  If you have any queries just give one of the committee members a call.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_3″ layout=”1_3″ last=”yes” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=”” min_height=””][fusion_title size=”2″ content_align=”left” style_type=”underline solid”]Throwing Events and the Pentathlons[/fusion_title][fusion_text]The throwing events are: Hammer, Shot, Discus, Javelin, Heavy Weight, Super Weight, 56lb, 100lb, Throws Pentathlon and Heavy Weight Pentathlon.  Implement weights are graded according to age group (see table below).  The Throws Pentathlon includes three throws with each of Hammer, Shot, Discus, Javelin and Heavy Weight in that order.  The Heavy Weight Pentathlon includes three throws with five different Heavy Weights of increasing specific weight according to age group.  For the pentathlons, each implement performance scores points for distance and the values are totalled to give a final overall point score.[/fusion_text][fusion_title size=”2″ content_align=”left” style_type=”underline solid”]Medals[/fusion_title][fusion_text]In all events specified as VMA events, medals will be awarded to the first three placegetters in each age group for both men and women.  Correct uniform is required for VMA events.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ layout=”1_1″ last=”yes” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding_top=”” padding_right=”” padding_bottom=”” padding_left=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=”” min_height=””][fusion_title size=”2″ content_align=”left” style_type=”underline solid”]VMA Throwers Committee[/fusion_title][fusion_text]
