4. More about BMAF
The British Masters Athletic Federation (BMAF) is a voluntary body for Master (Age 35+ Men & Women) Athletes in the UK. They are affiliated to the WA but are not currentlly supported by the UKA. Therefore funding is limited and all work for them is voluntary.
They are always keen to hear of anyone interest to see the activities of the BMAF maintained and willing to help with this work. Please contact one of the officers if you would like to get involved.
They also have under their wing the EMAA (England Masters Athletics Association) who organise various inter-area events and you can compete for your area club in these matches. Details of the selection process are also given on the Fixtures page.
