Hi Everyone - getting early this week with this coming Friday Nights' program. There were some new Age Group leaders last week- it was great to see some new faces getting involved!

A few families will be away this Friday nigh with athletes competing at Qld All Schools Championships, hence the short program published. The timing gates will not be set up this week to take pressure off those Committee Members/Helpers who are left to run the night, so no times for running events will be recorded.

This week will be the last week we will be accepting Triallist Athletes, so if you were thinking about getting your children involved in our club, this is the last week you will be able to trial.

Uniforms will be available for purchase at the shed from 5.00pm to 5.30pm.

Morning everyone - here is this weeks program. The U7's age group has been split due to the increase in registered athletes in this age group.

Thanks to all of our new parents who have given being Team Leaders a red hot crack over the past few weeks. It is appreciated and the kids love seeing you get involved.

If you haven't had the chance to lead a group, don't be shy, grab the age group folder and encourage other parents to get involved. Remember a minimum of 4 volunteers (team leader + 3) to run field events. Jobs for age volunteers include but are not limited to spiker, tape puller, retriever, raker, bar raisers.

Please remember that everyone involved with the club are volunteers so please be accommodating to those who are learning - remember, If its not positive, its pointless.

See you all Friday night!
