Hi everyone:
We got off to a wonderful start last Saturday with our first meet for the season. It was great to see so many happy young faces out there enjoying themselves. Two athletes broke Centre records. Congratulations to:
Janno van der Linde, U14 Boys Shot Put (3kg) with a distance of 13.22m
Isabel Daines, U12 Girls Javelin (400g) with a distance of 28.04m
This week, competition starts at:
7:30am for U9 and up (Walks first event). Please make sure you are at the Walks start line at 7:30am
8:00am for U6 to U8. Please make sure that you are ready to marshall by 8:00am (best to be there 10-15 minutes early) and listen for the PA to know what to do next. Marshalling (where the age/gender groups come together before heading out to their events) is on the southern side of the clubrooms, near the 100m start line.
You can check out the Program for all the details. While there, also look at the Roster. If you see a gap on the Roster, don't be afraid to volunteer!

Quiz Night
|
|
Our main fundraising and social event for the season is a fun Quiz Night on Saturday 9 November at 7pm at the Beaumaris Community Hall, Ocean Reef. You will have noticed that athletics requires an extensive amount of equipment and this event is our chance to raise funds to purchase much needed equipment to provide a better environment for our children to compete. If this event is well supported we stand a great chance of purchasing a second set of wireless automated timing gates to improve the efficiency and accuracy of our Saturday competitions.
Please note:
-
Plenty of prizes, games and fun! Those who attended last year can vouch.
-
Tables of 8, book a whole table or individual seats
-
Family, friends, neighbours welcome (regret no children)
-
Entry fee $10 per person, BYO snacks for your table
-
Cash bar available, no BYO drinks permitted.
To book please email Marcelle Moore on celle@tpg.com.au stating the number of seats you require. No door sales on the night.
If you, your business or workplace would like to donate a prize, please email Chris Moore on fundraising@jlac.org.au and you will be promoted as a sponsor on the night and on our website with links to your website and contact details for your business if you like.
We challenge all age/gender groups to have some representation at the Quiz Night to make it a huge success for the benefit of our children and the great sport of athletics! Thanks for your support.
