The above named may select other coaches to assist them, but basically the ideal is to get the better performing athletes
in the county together for joint training session. It is not to give an opportunity for poaching. Athletes that are selected
should be encouraged to attend. The actual dates the squads will meet are in the hands of the individual event groups.
