Information on the process can be found on the Cherrybrook website. When registering please read the different types of memberships on offer as they have changed from last year. Competition numbers will no longer be issued by the Cherrybrook Registrar but instead will be generated by the ANSW computer system. ANSW will then issue individual numbers at the athlete’s first competition upon check-in. There is no word yet on issuing of bibs for RunNSW and Waratah Series athletes. Watch this space. As last season, Dual athletes are to nominate their senior club (Cherrybrook) when registering online with Little Athletics. 1 GOOD LUCK Good luck to all Cherrybrook Athletes competing at the Bankstown All-comers + 10000m NSW Championships on Saturday.

It is strongly recommended that any athlete who is likely to make an application next April familiarise themselves with the updated policy now to maximise their chances of being eligible for an award. Athletes should note that: Senior athletes will only be awarded money from the pool if they compete (in a Cherrybrook club uniform where possible) for the club on at least 4 occasions (in a Cherrybrook Committee approved event including at least 2 Treloar Shields and either at the Senior State Relays and/or NSW Club Championships) during the season. Masters and Para athletes will only be awarded money from the pool if they compete (in a Cherrybrook club uniform where permissible) for the club on at least 4 occasions in a Cherrybrook committee approved event (including at least 2 Treloar Shields and make themselves available at either the NSW Senior State Relays and/or NSW Club Championships) during the season. Masters Athletes will only be allocated pool money if they have in the previous calendar year’s “World Masters Ranking List” an outdoor world ranking which placed them the higher of a Top 10 ranking for an event or the Top 10% of all ranked athletes (eg an athlete will need to be ranked at least 5th if there are only 50 athletes in the ranking list). Para athlete funding is only available for seniors events which require a qualifying standard to have been achieved. For Para Competitions which do not have qualification standards, 3 discretionary consideration will be given.
