Our annual Personal Best & Championship Day is here this Saturday!

Please Note: If athletes haven’t pre-registered for this event, they are illegible to compete this weekend!!

Parent Duty

Parent Duty for this event is completely different from a normal week! Parent duty is broken up by events and time blocks.
This week it is highly important that we fill ALL spots. If we cannot get enough helpers at an event or at the finish line etc, it will result in the day going a lot longer!

Presentation slips are to be completed and sent to the presentation area and the results sheets are to be placed in results entry basket inside the timekeeper’s room. Make sure age groups compete together eg don’t do 12 B then 12 G. But places awarded per age group.

If we don’t get enough helpers events WILL be cancelled!

If an event is a mixed age group and you have signed up, you must assist for the FULL-time block, not just one age group.

Parents are more than welcome to sign up for multiple time blocks, as long as they do not clash!

When registering you agreed to do a duty! Failure to do duty will result in your child being illegible for medals/trophies and possible scratchings from further events – including events for the 2022/23 season.

No Age group team Managers on the day and trolleys will be staying at the events please leave the folders in the trolleys.

Marshalling Area

Children will be called to the marshalling area, marquees near the 100m start, and MUST have their names ticked off before going to an event.

Entering the Arena and Arena Rules

NO PARENT OR ATHLETE will be allowed to enter the arena without going through marshalling or being at an event for duty.

NO PARENT/SIBLING/ATHLETE is to run along side an athlete

NO PARENT is to be cheering on the inside of the track, this will result in children being disqualified – this is actually an official Little Athletics Australia Rule.

Presentation Area

For this special week medals and ribbons are given out for all events. We do require some helpers for this area throughout the day – you can sign up using the parent duty sign up.

Program of Events

CLICK HERE TO SEE THE PROGRAM OF EVENTS

The first event is from 8 am!!

Please remember this program has taken numerous hours to prepare and is set up this way to have minimal event clashes.

If your child does have event clashes, the marshalling assistant will be able to assist with this when marshalling – they will not miss an event.

If an area is free, you CANNOT just jump in and do your event – if this happens the event will be scratched from the program.

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 11:00am, 1^st 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.

As we are hosting at Casey Fields we need as much help as we can possibly get to assist on the day. We will be running the BBQ on the day, which will also operate as a “mini canteen”. We are offering DOUBLE points to all parents that sign up! A great way to top up your parent points.

You can sign up as normal by clicking here

On top of the BBQ there is a small Duty Rosters for some familys.
