We would like to welcome back past athletes and families and extend a warm welcome to new members and families joining us in the new season. We are all excited for the upcoming season and the future of our club. We aim to bring some positive changes within the club and to provide a fun inclusive atmosphere for all and to develop children of all abilities by promoting positive attitudes and a healthy lifestyle through family and community involvement in athletic activities. I believe kids should be supported & encouraged by the parents in activities their parents have put them in to. I would also like to hear of any suggestions that you may have that would result in our Friday evenings running more effectively, on time & with as many helpers as possible. Our supporters are very important to this centre & I would like to encourage all our members to utilize them as their ongoing support is priceless. I look forward to a successful year ahead.

This will follow with a warm up for all athletes to get them ready for competition which will include 4-5 events depending on age group. An age manager will be in charge of each group ensuring that times / distances are recorded for each athlete at each event. Parent helpers are required each and every competition night to help measure, record, retrieve etc. to ensure the night runs smoothly and efficiently. Please ask how you can get involved. Unlike in previous years event tickets will not be given out at the conclusion of the night as we now have electronic recording. Once the athlete has finished a race, the times will be uploaded into their online record for you to access in Results HQ. Field events may not initially be recorded as quickly but the Recordings Officer will endeavour to get these results uploaded by the end of the weekend. ImPortAnt Notice to All PArents And GuArdiAns: All athletes must be accompanied by an adult, at training and competition nights.
