Round 7 - Coles Community Round - This Saturday 29. November
After all the excitement of the relay weekends, we’re back to a regular session on Saturday 29. November. We will revisit our Coles Community Round which we had to postpone 3 weeks ago. We will be running Program 3.
U6 - U8 families: Please arrive by 8:15am for warm-up and for an 8:30am start
U9 - U17 families: Individual start times, please refer to the program. If you wish to participate in the walks, please join us at the start line at the tennis court side of the back straight a few minutes before the start time of your age group.
Duties:
U8 families: Set-up duty. Please arrive at 7:30am and sign in to have your duty recorded. Please remember that you are also staffing the BBQ and Canteen in Session 1
U12 families: Pack-up duty. Please remember to only sign out when we are finished packing up. In addition, you’re in charge of BBQ and Canteen in Session 2.
Front Straight and Back Straight scanning: Any age group! Fastest fingers first.
U6 and U13-U17 parents: you missed out due to rain last time - but no worries! Feel free to join us this time or any of the other weeks to catch up.
To make your planning easier, we have scheduled the entire season on our duty page.
Coles Community Round:
Coles is a big sponsor of Little Athletics Victoria and provides us with our free bananas every week. This round is our Coles Community Round. We encourage all athletes to be creative and wear something in Coles colours. Every team will have one $10 Coles voucher to give away to the best-dressed athlete! We will also have a cool Coles picture frame for selfies and group pictures, together with a few costumes.
Other info:
Please remember to bring hats, umbrellas, sunscreen and drink bottles and wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Drinks, snacks and BBQ will be available for purchase. Uniforms will be available for sale as well, and our coffee man Lenny and his team will have their famous hot and cold drinks ready.
The weather forecast again looks a bit challenging. We will however do our very best to run the sessions, unless it really doesn’t work. Please keep an eye on all our channels on Saturday morning. If you don’t hear from us, we’re on.
