Open
Days are a great way to gain extra competition and prepare
for championships. Several are coming soon, including
Bayside on Sunday 3rd February at Sandringham. Go to our
Season Calendar
page for details and entry forms.
Be Sunsmart on Saturdays and at Championships
and Open Days With the arrival
of the hotter weather, it is even more important that athletes,
families and officials look after themselves at all
competitions. We should all remember to bring water
bottles, wear sunscreen & bring a hat for when we are in the
sun. It is also wise to consider a light, long sleeve top
as extra protection on these days. This can be a big help
for athletes and officials, particularly while waiting or doing
duty at field events.
Primary Schools Nationals As announced, Cameron Menzies and Ian Palackic
represented
Victoria at the SSA Track & Field Exchange in Launceston before
the xmas break and they both brought home medals!
Congratulations, we are very proud of your efforts!!
