This Weeks News!

Thanks for a great start to the season last Saturday. Looking forward to our second week tomorrow. We should have more athletes this week as other sports finish, plus I have had a number of new enquiries this week.

I know I am preaching to the converted but we really need as much parent help as we can get each week. Ideally there would be three parents per age group to age marshall and help with measuring and crowd control. I know this is not always possible with the older groups but the younger age groups really need the manpower. I know there are those that help each and every week and I thank those people massively – lets see if we can get more people involved.

On that note if anyone can arrive at 7:15 and help set up tomorrow that would be appreciated. We are two committee members down tomorrow so we could use some muscle(!) especially as we have to get the hurdles out.

There are a couple of things to take note of :

1. Training will start next Wednesday (16^th). We will be running training specifically for middle distance runners (400m+) from 3:30 to 4:30pm. This is being coordinated by Simone Pearce who is very keen to develop training programs specifically for those who want to improve their middle distance running. Then from 4:30 to about 5:30 we will run normal training – so some sprint work to start with and then some field events for those who are interested. Remember the cost for training is $2 to cover ground fees, insurance, and coach training.
2. The Gympie Spring Carnival is being held on Sept 20^th. Click HERE for more info – nominations must be made direct to Gympie LAC.
3. The LAQ Spring Carnival is being held at Bundaberg on Sept 26^th. Click HERE for all the info. Nominations are due by Sept 19^th – please see Rob if you are interested in nominating for this carnival.
4. Also any parents interested in assisting with coaching your kids, we recommend attending the Introduction to Coaching Course being held at Bli Bli LAC on Sun Sept 27^th. Again, please see Rob for more info – Nambour LAC will PAY for you to attend this course.

That’s it for now,

See you on the track,
