Over 160 athletes, parents and family took part in our meet Tuesday night. Thank you to all those parents who helped in any way. Don’t forget, we need at least one parent/guardian to help out for each child that appears on the roster. The more parents who help, the smoother the night runs and the more we get done.

At the end of each meet, there are several drink bottles being left behind. Could you please ensure water bottles and hats are labelled, so we know to whom they belong if they’re left behind.

It is essential athletes have a water bottle, hat and have sunscreen applied beforehand as the weather is quite hot even at 5pm when we start.

There are two carnivals coming up: the Relay Carnival and the Woden/Weston Carnival.

The Relay Carnival will be held on Sunday December 6 at the AIS Athletics Field, Bruce. Athletes from under 7s up are eligible to attend and there is no extra cost. Why not get some friends together and enter a team, or go as an individual and take part in high jump, shot put, long jump or discus?

The Woden/Weston Carnival is a new carnival and is open to all ages. It will be held on Saturday January 16 at Woden Park, Ainsworth St, Phillip. The entry cost is $5 and includes track and field events. For more details about each carnival, please see our website ylac.org.au and if you are interested in entering either competition, please see Cath on Tuesday night, or email her at president@ylac.org.au.
