This Saturday, we are running a standard program for U6-U8 athletes and our Combined Event Day for all U9-U17 athletes. This is a good preparation for everyone who is participating in the State Combined Event championships in January and an opportunity to experience combined events for everyone else. Athletes who participate in all 5 events will have their total points tallied and the top 3 finishers in each age group will be awarded medals on our presentation day in March. Please refer to the program for details.

• U6-U8 families: Please arrive at 8:15am for an 8:30am start
• U9-U17 families: Please arrive at 9:45am for a 10am start. There are exceptions - please refer to the program.

Duties:

• U7 families: Set-up duty. Please arrive at 7:30am and sign in to have your duty recorded.
• U11 families are on pack-up duty - please remember to sign out when we are finished packing up.
• Mid-session duties: Please sign up at the start of the session and ensure you have your name recorded at the Duty Board. 

In order to help you planning, we have published all set-up and pack-up duties for the rest of the season here.

Please remember to bring your chest patches - if we have to re-issue them this will incur a fee. As usual, drinks, snacks and BBQ will be available for purchase.

We're a bit unlucky - the weather forecast is currently not great. Please keep an eye on Teams App and all usual channels on Saturday morning. If you don't see anything, we're on.

You will also be able to receive the Mentone 50th Anniversary sport bag this week - sponsored by our key partner, the Bendigo Community Bank Parkdale.
