Open Graded Meeting – Tilsley Park
Earlier this month, Radley AC held its annual Open Competition at Tilsley Park on Saturday 11 April 2026. This Open Graded Meeting was run in memory of Charles and Eileen Kear, two of our founder members.
We were delighted to welcome 387 athletes participating in over 600 events on what turned out to be a rather cold and windy spring day, which was nevertheless enjoyed by all. 74 of the athletes were quad kids, taking part in the four usual events for this age group.
With over 600 event participations, 48 volunteer officials were needed – a huge thank you to them all for giving up their time on a Saturday to make sure the day ran smoothly and on time.
