If you need to pick up any uniform items for Champs this weekend you can purchase them during the training session from our Registrar. As we approach the end of the 2024-25 season and begin preparations for our Presentation Day (Sunday, 30th March 2025) we are seeking nominations for the GUNLAC Club person of the year and GUNLAC Lifetime Membership. Nominations will be open until Sunday 2nd March 2025 and should be sent to [email protected]. Your nomination should include the person’s name, position/role and a brief explanation of why you believe they deserve the award.
Lifetime Membership
The GUNLAC Lifetime Membership Award is not given every year; rather, it is awarded when individuals within the club are identified for their exceptional contributions over many years. Nominations for this prestigious award are open throughout the season, with all submissions being reviewed and determined by the GUNLAC committee. Our Lifetime Members demonstrate outstanding dedication, leadership, and service, playing an essential role in the club’s success and impact on the community. This award not only celebrates their past achievements but also stands as a lasting tribute to their ongoing commitment and passion for GUNLAC. The end of the season is the perfect time to consider and submit nominations for Lifetime Members, recognising those members who have consistently made outstanding contributions to the club. We look forward to hearing about all the amazing individuals who make GUNLAC so special! If you have any questions about either of these awards, please get in touch with the committee. At GUNLAC, we’re feeling the love this week —especially for athletics, with GUNLAC Meet 14 on this Saturday, 15 February 2025!
We’ve noticed that some athletes do not appear to have a guardian present at each meet. For the safety of the athletes and for insurance purposes, a guardian must stay at the oval with their child(ren) and remain nearby with the respective age group. If you have multiple children and are unable to stay with one group, please inform the Age Group Manager where to find you. ------------ *Underage Championships (U9-U18), 21- 23 February at the AIS Athletics Track Registrations now open until Tues, 18 Feb at 12pm.
