This weekend is our last session for our U6 on track program, it would be great to see all our U6 athletes attend and a special presentation will be held at the end of their session!! For those U7-Open athletes entered into Centre Championships you have one more week before our centre champs the following Saturday 3rd March. Please stay tuned for schedule and duty roster which will be out soon. Please ensure you have met the Duty Roster requirements of 4 duties and 6 attendances for athletes (3 if only joined after Xmas) in able to participate next week. We will be looking for plenty of helpers again this Sat, from set up, to pack up, BBQ and all the events, don’t forget to sign in!!

As part of our affiliation with Little Athletics Victoria we help raise funds for the Royal Childrens Hospital Good Friday Appeal so this week we will be rattling the tins for a gold coin donation, dig deep, lets show how generous Willy LAC can be!!

Our AGM and Presentation Day will be held on Sunday 22nd April at 4pm, save the date and stay tuned for more details. We have vacancies on our committee for next year and would love to have a quick AGM but it is important for the success of our club moving forward that these positions are filled. Vacancies include uniforms, secretary, Vice President, Results manager and results team, many of these roles are not time consuming, some don’t even require regular attendance at meetings, please don’t hesitate to ask how you can assist and be part of the smooth running of our club. Pop into the Pavillion to have a chat to Emma and Fran or Email Ashley at williamstownpresident@lavic.com.au to find out more about these roles.

Last weekend saw us host the Western Regional Track and Field Championships over Saturday and Sunday, it was a huge weekend and we saw some amazing performances, to celebrate the outside centre records that our athletes achieved we will have a presentation ceremony at 10am. Once again without the help of our amazing parents we would not have been able to run such a successful event, thank you!!!

The ending of our Summer season is not the end of Little Athletics, we have our Winter Cross Country season coming up which is open to all members, your fees cover both seasons. It is a great opportunity for athletes to run both locally and at regional events at distances from 1km-3km. The season normally runs from late May-end July, on a Saturday morning at Newport Lakes, we will be updating you with details as it draws nearer but would love to hear from any parents who are able to assist Rory the Winter Team Manager with minor roles including set up, time keeping and results. Please email Ashley at williamstownpresident@lavic.com.au if you can assist or would like more information.

Don’t forget to wear your amazing pb award hats from our sponsor Kiddies Eye Care, stay hydrated and slip on some sunscreen if you are out in it!! Come into the Pavillion once you’ve checked your pb’s on the noticeboard and decorate your hat with your pb pins!!

The canteen and bbq will be running with coffee, cold drinks, snacks, egg and bacon rolls, sausages, hot dogs and pies, fuelling both our athletes and spectators!!
