Welcome back to the track - hope you all enjoyed your break! This week, we are running a twilight session on Friday evening instead of the usual Saturday morning, since the entire weekend will be taken up by the State Combined Event Championships. 

• U6-U8 families: Please arrive at 5:30pm for an 5:45pm start
• U9-U17 families: Please arrive at 6:40pm for a 6:50pm start.  

We are running a dedicated twilight program. For those athletes who are competing at the State Combined Event championships on the weekend, please note that we will count your participation at the State event towards your 100% participation target. You are of course still welcome to join if you wish to.

• U6 families: Set-up duty. Please arrive at 4:30pm and sign in to have your duty recorded.
• U12 families: Pack-up duty, catching up after the wash-out on the 2nd December took away your slot.
• 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.

If you were not at Santa Sprints, you will be able to collect our handbook this week instead. You will also be able to receive your Mentone 50th Anniversary sport bag - sponsored by our key partner, the Bendigo Community Bank Parkdale. 

A reminder: Region Track and Field Championships on 10th/ 11th February: Entries close next Monday 22. January at 11am! Click here for draft timetable.
