First up, a reminder that our start is at
8:45am for Warm-Ups. Please make sure you arrive in time for
this important part of the program. Starting on time also helps
us finish on time, unlike last Saturday. It also helps our pack
up crew to get away at a reasonable hour.
Centre Records One
so far - Cameron Menzies U13 Boys Discus - 36.74m - well done!
Parent Duty A
number of parents have asked where they can find information
that will help them when officiating on Saturdays. The Brighton
Handbook (pp. 20-23 or our
Rules page) and the
How to Help at Little Athletics
booklet (also given to new athletes at registration) contain all
the basics to assist parents. We recommend you do the quiz at
the end of the booklet, return it to your Club President and we
will have it checked. This knowledge can also help you assist
your athletes if they have questions or difficulties.
Region Relay Championships (for
U9s-U15s)
are at Caulfield on Sunday 18 November (click

Mentone Relay Day (Sunday 28 October) is a great warm up
for Region Relays. If you would like to enter, please

Open Days These
are a great chance to compete against athletes from other
centres. Caulfield is having an Open Day on Sunday 4 November,

Royal Children's Hospital Appeal Little
Athletics has for many years contributed to the appeal through
events at Centres. On 10 November, we will be asking all adults
and athletes to run a lap before we start our program and
contribute a gold coin donation to this great appeal.
Lost Property We
regularly have a large amount of clothing left behind on
competition days. Please check to see if any belongs to your
children. Most does not have initials or name, so we can't
identify who they belong to. After a sufficient time elapses,
unclaimed clothing will be forwarded to charity. |
