Birmingham Diamond
There was an excellent day's athletics at Birmingham on Sunday 24 August with the Diamond League followed by the IPC Disability Grand Prix. Stuart was there as accredited media and was also able to lead two athlete Bible Studies - one on Saturday evening and one on Sunday morning.
A near full house added to the occasion
