Thank-you to Tony Northey for offering his time and knowledge, training is held on thursday afternoons at 4pm except for this week due to Aus Day training is on tuesday. All are welcome to attend for a gold coin donation. Athletes are always welcome to turn up, but it assists in planning if we can let Tony know who is intending to come along, so please let us know either by email or at competition if you think you will be there.
- Committee members needed: Our current committee (of 3) are ready and waiting for anyone who would like to help out and get more involved in running the club, whether it be for a committee position or a specific job. We could really use people to take over treasurer, registrar, canteen convener or secretary as we are currently handling multiple roles. Please let us know and we'll get you going in whatever capacity you'd like to try.
- Fundraising: keeps our fees low while operating with small member numbers. 2-3 BBQs are planned for the second half of the season. Participation in BBQ fundraising is required to receive the helper levy back at the end of the season, so keep an eye out for your chance to help. Contact Deb if you can assist with supplies such as drinks, ice etc.

 Above is McMartin Park 19 January Is little A's on?...... Yes Yes Yes for the 22nd
|
What happened during all that rain..Well, aside from christmas, school holidays and lots of grass growing. The Diesel mower was completely pulled apart and put back together with a few new bits and pieces... which was good timing as it was the only mower that could get through our knee high grass.
Oh and the line-marker was fixed up too. |

Linemarking is FUN ?..
I forgot to remember it was "fun" when I was linemarking this week... It became somewhat of a mission and I won't bore you with the entire story but suffice it to say the linemarker is in need of repairs and I don't think my clothes will recover But we had a great day at athletics and the kids had a straight (nearly straight) to race on....
