From Around The Table Of The Committee
To our athletes - as we are now in the count down of our
athletics season just a reminder to really have a good
try at obtaining those PB's. And remember if the PB's
are hard to get, don't worry as long as you are trying
your best, that is just as important - one day you will
start achieving them! Remember just relax and have fun
with athletics!!
We would like to remind all families that this is a
family centre and we really need parents or caregivers
to be present with all our athletes, including seniors.
This is for assistance and also for the athletes safety
- we please ask you to co-operate with this - thank you.
We also would like to thank all the athletes for wearing
their patches during competition and for wearing their
Panther, Roadrunner and Redback Club polo tops. On
Saturday mornings you are competing under your Club.
The singlet top is for when competing for Chelsea at Open
Days, Regionals, State Multi's and State Finals only.
If the Committee makes a decision to change the wearing of Chelsea
singlets we will inform you on this. Till then please
wear your Club's polo.
A couple of weekends ago we had some athletes competing
with iPods, under the rules this is not allowed. It is
difficult to communicate with athletes using iPods. We
please ask for them to be left at home.
We are constantly updating our well informed website,
please take a moment a couple of times a week to read
(which you're doing now!)
and view any new and exciting information that is well
detailed. At the beginning of the season all families
received our handbook, please refer to this for any
answers to your queries, and then please approach any
Committee members if the web and handbook can't help
you.
This Saturday is our raffle day for all the athletes who
attended for the month of January, good luck to you all
and may your name be drawn out! This has been an
exciting month with some extras to make Saturdays and
twilights a bit more fun and exciting. The attendance
has been great and up on years before.
Another reminder on the pack-ups, we need events packed
up first when the last age group finishes and as the
running events mostly run last we need the bunting and
gates removed at the last. The bunting needs to be left
up, then removed after the very final race.
Sometimes we have people forgetting and then wandering
on to the track which can affect a race. We ask for
your co-operation on this.
Have a successful Saturday, again having fun!
