IN AN EMERGENCY, YOUR MOBILE PHONE MAY BE SENT A WARNING BASED ON YOUR LOCATION.

If you are travelling, staying or living within an area affected by an emergency, your mobile phone may be sent an emergency warning message.

During the night they had a special visit from Santa in the local Police car. The young athletes were very excited by his surprise visit and each athlete had a chance to chat with Santa and receive an icy pole. The club congratulates all athletes who represented the Centre at the State Relay Championships at Lakeside Stadium last Saturday. The Boys Under 14- 16 Medley team consisting of Dale Harris (100m), Lucas Shugg (100m), Brant Lopes (200m) and Jack Shaw (400m) won a bronze medallion. This was the final meet prior to Christmas and Little Aths will return to Masons Lane on Saturday 18 January, 2014 at 8.30am.
