Congratulations to all our
athletes who competed at Frankston - they performed
wonderfully, with many contributing to our huge number of PB's
over the weekend. In addition, some new Outside Centre
Records were set across a range of events.
24 athletes qualify for
State Track & Field Championships in 45 events - resulting
from our performances at Frankston, we have our largest team at
State for several years (around 50% more athletes and events).
We hope they have a great time at Bendigo - lets bring back
another batch of PB's, Outside Centre Records and maybe even
some medals?!
State Multi-Event
Championships - this weekend 12 of our athletes are off to
Albury for the State Multi-Event Championships. At
"Multis" the athletes compete in a pentathlon with 100m, 80-100m
Hurdles, 800m, Long Jump and Discus. Again, this is our
biggest participation for many years - best wishes for a great
time and top performances.
Thanks to all parents
for doing duty at Region - especially those who rearranged
other commitments, did extra sessions, or did duty on the day
their child was not competing. Without your assistance,
events such as Championships could not take place.
Coaching Sessions at Dendy
Park
will continue up until the
State Championships (click for details).
Remaining dates for
summer season - only 3 programs left for the season.
Saturday 1st March, Friday 7th March (twilight starts at 6pm
sharp) and Saturday 15th March. As a number of key people
will be away at Championships, we'll need everyone to hop in and
help as much as possible on these programs.
Presentation Day, AGM
and Breakup - because of an early Easter, this day will be
Saturday 5th April. We'll have a fun program for the athletes
while the AGM is on (9am start) and then the Centre and Club
presentations - remember to put this key date on your calendar!
Elections and
Nominations - all positions within the club become vacant at the AGM
and some current office bearers (including our President, Alan Wilkes)
will not be available next season. A nomination form is
available (click
) and we welcome nominations from anyone who would like to
contribute to the running of the Centre for the benefit of our
athletes. Nominations close on Friday 7th March (our
twilight program). If you have any questions, please talk
to your Club President who can either help you or refer you to
the appropriate person. If only one person nominates by
closing date they will be elected. If there are no
nominations for a role, nominations will be called at the AGM.
Remember, if positions are left vacant it's our athletes who are
most affected!
Break-In at the Clubrooms - during this week our clubrooms
have been broken into and some significant damage and loss has
occurred. A computer has been stolen, the coffee machine and
kitchen cupboards were damaged and eggs were spread across the
floors. Brighton police attended and are doing a thorough
investigation and Bayside Council has been notified
