The AGM will be held this WEDNESDAY JUNE 20th - 7.30pm at Gungahlin Community Centre (Communities@ Work Centre) on 47 Ernest Cavanagh street, Gungahlin Town Centre.

We would love to see some new faces on our Committee, and are keen to hear new ideas for our up coming season. If are interested in joining us but cannot make the meeting, you can email us at enquiries@gunlac.org.au with you details and how you would like to help.  While its getting chilly outside, its not too early to start thinking about those sunny Saturday mornings at Little Athletics!

Under 11 and older athletes who are competing in High Jump this weekend at ACT Champs - we are running a special training session at the AIS Track this Thursday on High Jump (Amaroo oval is closed for the two week shutdown of all grounds). This will focus just on flop technique. Training will commence at 5.15pm - 6.30pm and will be run by Coach Rodney. If you are interested in attending please email Simone at coachingcoord@gunlac.org to confirm attendance and find out all the details. AIS does charge a track entry fee but we do have tickets available for athletes for the fee 0f $3.50 (usually casual entry is $5). This is a great opportunity to get some final practice and technique advice - thanks to Rodney for offering his time for this session! IMPORTANT NOTE - As the oval is closed we are not able to offer training at Amaroo this week. Apologies to those who were keen! Unfortunately we can't use the oval if TAMS closes it.  This Saturday is our final meet at Amaroo which is Presentation Day! We will be running handicap races on the straight track (the GUNLAC Gift) and will have presentations for all our athletes. We ask that all athletes come in their GUNLAC shirts for the presentation. Start time is our normal time of 9am with expected finish time approximately 10.30am. All athletes who competed in at least one meet after Christmas will receive a medal and we have many other awards to present so come along a help celebrate our 2017-18 season!  This Saturday is our final full competition meet of this season. Check out the events on the program and this week's GUNLAC news on our Club Documents Page. Don't forget to get your entries in for ACT Champs - they close NEXT TUESDAY!! No late entries.  Unfortunately due to coaches unavailability we will have to modify today's training program - we will now be running long jump and sprints for all ages. TRAINING THURSDAY MARCH 15TH AND MARCH 22ND We will continue to run Thursday Training for athletes preparing for ACT Champs. We would like to focus our sessions on those events athletes are most keen on practicing - if you have any requests for these sessions please email Simone at coachingcoord@gunlac.org.au.  This week;s GUNLAC News is now available on the Club Documents Page! Check out whats happening around the club this week.  The Program for this coming Saturday is now available on the Club Documents page. We have two more competition meets this season before our Presentation day on Saturday March 17th.  The training schedule has now been updated for the next two Thursdays - March 1st and March 8th - full details on our Training Page. - This week we have hurdles for our older athletes (Under 11s and older) and shot put and long jump for our younger group (u7s to U10s). - Next week we have Triple Jump for older athletes and Discus and sprints for the younger group. Also a big thank you to our new Coach Rodney who has been doing a lot of field event coaching at our Thursday sessions and on Saturday mornings. We know how useful our athletes have been finding this extra help on technique, with lots of PBs and Records being broken recently on these field events - its greatly appreciated!!  |
