More details when I have t...

Sleady, it is definitely something we intend to do at some stage in the future, but it would be a lot of scanning for someone! Maybe it might be a summer job for a keen student?

Jenny Meadows won her 800m heat in 2:00.39 - she led all the way and is the fastest qualifier. Got two days rest until the final.
