News - 2015/2016

Welcome to Week 16 of the season, which is the LaVic designated Relaython Round program. 
What does this mean exactly? 

Well, on behalf of the Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal next month, athletes (and parents!) will be running a continuous relay around the track from 9am until...well, until we've had enough really! It's shaping up as a warm day (temp of 30 degrees), so we may not extend much past the program. 200m & 400m legs will be run, so even if you are not fit, you can run 200m! :) So you are welcome to join in the fun - remember to hydrate beforehand (and I don't mean on beer and wine the night before!) 

Anyway, come down on Saturday and find out more! We are running what is essentially Program 1, but having the Relaython in lieu of the distance events. Please see the program attached. We are raising funds for the appeal so don't forget to contribute to the official tin being passed around. This also includes money raised to date for the temporary patches. 

If you would like to know more about the history of this round or how it is conducted, please visit the attached link:

KEY OFFICIALS 

As usual, please let me know ASAP if you are not attending this week.

PARENT HELP URGENTLY REQUIRED!! 

- We require First Aid assistance this week - Peter is away this week 
- Due to last Saturday's issues with the timing gates, we need more people to learn how to set these up. Failure to get more people to assist will delay the program and may even result in cancellation of events - we only have 1-2 people who know how to do it. Please arrive at 7.30am for early set up to find out how to do it. This will also hold us in good stead for next season. 
- This week we require 2 people to assist in calculating the laps done for the Relaython - please let me know if you can assist ASAP. 

REGION TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS 

With the upcoming Region Track and Field Champs we are required to fill official positions across the weekend. We need a person to be a member of the jury on both Saturday and Sunday (can be a different person). I will bring a list of positions to be filled this Saturday. First in best dressed! If your child is competing you are obligated to do a duty on behalf of the club. Many of the regulars, including myself will be there for the entire weekend from early to late, so your help is needed and appreciated. 

We also need 1 other person to set up (early Sat am) and pack up (late Sun arvo) - each of the clubs is required to fill this quota. I will be the second person. 

The following people have already volunteered their time over the weekend, so a big thank you from me!
