Dear Members,
The Annual General meeting (AGM) is an important event for our club. It gives members and the committee a broad overview of the organization’s current directions, financial health and confirms our purpose. It is also a great time to revitalize through the official engagement of members, new and current into key elected positions
The traditional format of AGM’s often involves a number of members meeting in a physical location and voting on a show of hands. This location was our club room’s, however, our clubrooms are being utilized at present and a capacity limit in place.
To that end, we have decided to hold a hybrid AGM and Presentation to be held at 10:00am, 1st of May 2021 over Zoom. The hybrid part is that we will be broadcasting from the clubrooms and presenting the major trophies throughout the AGM.
All other awards will be presented after the AGM, by age group out on the track as we have done previously. Athletes will be advised of when their presentations times are and will be invited to arrive with their fellow team mates to be presented their trophies and awards in persons. We will have a jumping castle for those waiting for their trophies and/or medals.
This therefore allows all members to attend and participate in this meeting from their homes and or at the track where required. The business to be transacted at a virtual meeting will be the same business that is transacted at a traditional AGM just in a virtual format.
Zoom details to be provided in due course.
Essentially, standard AGM rules however still apply. If the requisite number of members fail to attend a meeting, there will be no quorum so no business can be transacted.
The AGM can still be a positive experience for all of us we all go away firmly committed to the club and our goals.
Cranbourne Little Athletics Centre
The last athletics event of 2021 is the Commonwealth Bank State Relay Championships at Casey Fields.

WEEKLY UPDATE
Well…. What another HUGE week its been in the Little Athletics Victoria World!!
GCR TRACK AND FIELD CARNIVAL UPDATE
As you may have all seen, the GCR Track and Field Carnival will now take place NEXT weekend, Saturday Feb 27th – Sunday Feb 28th. The program and the Parent Duty roster will remain the same! We will re-post again throughout this week to remind everyone.
With Region being pushed back to next week our twilight program for next Friday night will now be POSTPONED, meaning there will be NO COMPETITION at Casey Fields on Friday 26th February. We are currently looking at holding this Twilight at a later date in the year! Stay tuned for this to be announced!
Region Relays will no longer be happening with all teams now progressing straight through to state! More on relays will be relayed to all entrants at this Sunday’s training session at Casey Fields.
WEEK 13 UPDATE
This week is STILL going ahead as normal! We do ask that EVERYONE over the age of 12 years old is carrying a mask on them, that must be worn when you cannot socially distance
Early Starts were posted onto social media this morning
U14-16 Boys and Girls 1500m, U12B Long Jump & U10B High Jump will all start at 8am. Please be there ready to go at 7.55am!
On Monday we also posted new STRICT rules in regards to entering the arena. This will be enforced this week – if you are not wearing a vest or not asked by a committee member to assist you MUST NOT cross over the fence. You are more than welcome to follow your child around outside of the track fence line – all events are viewable from the fence.
Ross and his team will again be up on the mezzanine with our medal engraver! So if you have any medals lying around that need engraving please take in up to see Ross and his team!
PARENT HELPERS STILL NEEDED FOR THIS WEEK
We still require a lot of parent helpers this week! Remember you need to hit 30 parent points for your child/ren to be eligible for an end of season award. Point update will be available by the mezzanine on Saturday.

Hi Everyone,
Just a few reminders for the weekend.
This Weekend is at Edwin Flack Reserve on Manuka Rd, Berwick (behind Football Ground)
Please arrive 1hr before your event or at least 15mins before your Duty so we know you are here.
For the Junior Carnival please arrive before 10am for marshaling etc.
We will have a Marque’s set up for everyone to use just inside the gate. Bring your own seating as there is not a lot at this venue.
Make sure your child is in Full Uniform
Royal Blue Shorts (no logo’s or pockets – unless it is the LAVic Logo)
Cranbourne competition top with Coles Badge sewn on
Commonwealth Bank Patch (Commonwealth Bank sticker over the previous sponsor)
You will need to check-in at the gate on arrival.
This event is over 2 days but is jammed packed so please have your child around the Cranbourne Marques 30 mins before they are due to marshal. Paul and Myself(Mark) will make sure they get to their event.
We have a lot of athletes entered so that means a lot of duties. It is imperative that we all turn up to their duty. I have spread everyone as far as I could with 1 duty still to cover. Please don’t let the centre down and more importantly our kids. If you fail to do your allocated duty you risk your child being Disqualified from Region, Loss of Parent Points and missing out on State Relays.
Paul and I would like to wish everyone a fantastic weekend with plenty of PB’s.
GO CRANBOURNE!!!
Mark Sullivan
Region & State Team Manager
