Douglas Community School athletes and coach Steven Macklin travelled to Portugal over Easter for a warm weather training camp to prepare for the up coming track season and the World Schools Cross-Country championships. A group of 16 in total spent nine very enjoyable days in Monte Gordo in superb weather. The athletes trained very well and all really enjoyed the trip. A special thanks to all the younger athletes for their superb behaviour and their dedication to training. The group did some very beneficial training and all also enjoyed the barbeque on the last night. All the athletes will benefit from the trip and will no doubt produce many PBs  [personal bests] throughout the track season.
