This week is Meet 7 of our season and congratulations to the 4 athletes who continue to set club records. We had a great time at the Capital Athletics Relay Carnival on Sunday, congratulations to all the athletes, families & volunteers who turned up in the 30+°C day and gave it their best. A particular shout out to the volunteers who were fabulous despite a few unexpected challenges. GUNLAC came home with a good collection of medals and some athletes were heard jingling their way home.

We've been lucky with the weather so far, but it looks like rain may be heading our way this Saturday. We try not to cancel meets and will only do so if the ovals are closed or it's unsafe. Keep an eye on your emails, website, and social media for updates. If you don’t hear anything, the meet is on! Here's hoping for a continuation of the sunny weather!
