Some key information about this Friday is outlined below:
- Whilst the weather forecast has some showers at this stage we plan for the event to occur. If we cancel due to weather this will be notified by 1300 on a Friday (website, Instagram and facebook). We try to ensure we hold the event but if heavy rain is forecast we will cancel as our electronic timing gear is impacted by the heavy rain.
- We expect a number of people will be collecting registrations. Returning members if you could bring back your last years registration numbers we can re use the RFID tags that we place in the numbers
- New members collecting your registrations, please bring proof of age for your athlete (birth certificate or passport)
- Please remember you will need to complete the working with children form (required by Little Athletics NSW) as you will be accessing the general area. Please note that you will not need to have a Working With Children clearance just complete the form if you are only performing limited parent helper duties etc. Registration collection will be available from 1700
- At registration, you will also need to complete the parental obligations form advise whether you will help the age manager, help on the BBQ or be paying the non-volunteer fee of $70 for a child or $120 for a family. We require one carer from each family to assist each week and if this is not possible please pay the non-volunteer fee at registration. We use this money to arrange a large crew of ex-athletes to ensure the event functions each week.
- Uniforms will be open as well but to ensure you don’t miss the event if required just pin your number on your athlete’s shirt so they can start with the other athletes and then you can purchase the uniform through the evening
- We are completing event series 1 which is on our website
- Those that have enrolled in the coaching programs they will commence from 1730 with Leo on Sprints, Mal on Hurdles, Maxim on Long Jump and Anne on walks. If you want your athlete to participate please pay the $100 fee for the season (refer to coaching section) of the website.
Our Tots to Under 8s event is from 1730-1830
Our U9s to U17s event are from 1830-2000
Please just line up at the relevant age flag positioned on the field to enable the event to commence
Please note that the BBQ and Uniforms will be in operation, we have limited facilities and one eftpos machine so if you can bring cash to pay at the BBQ or the uniform area that will assist.
Under our COVID plan, parents and carers that are not vaccinated are required to stay outside of the fenced area, so please do not enter the track and field area. Vaccinated parents and carers can participate as normal.
A few final points – remember, parking is a challenge so leave enough time. Please note that all the people on uniforms, the BBQ, age managing are parents and volunteers so please be patient especially on the first night.
