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. We hope you enjoyed your festive activities and are ready to hit the ground running in 2025! GUNLAC Meet 10 is on this Saturday providing the rain holds off for us - stay tuned to our Facebook page and website if it’s looking a bit damp.

Registration bags (not applicable for trials) should be picked up before your athlete commences the meet and can be collected from 8 AM. Remember to bring proof of identity for your athlete/s (electronic copy preferred) and at least four safety pins per athlete to attach their new numbers to their shirts. If you are new to the club and have not already collected your registration information please have a read through the New Family Information Sheet. Athlete/s should wear their GUNLAC uniform and have their registration number and age patch attached to their shirt. Trial athletes should wear comfortable athletic clothing (eg, shorts, t-shirt, jumper) and sneakers. Trial athletes should make sure they join the correct Age Group. If the athlete is not on the list that the Age Group Manager has please double check they are in the correct age group. You can use the GUNLAC Age Group Calculator on the FAQ page to confirm your athletes age group. Please note: All of the round track events (200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m) have been moved to the top oval until further notice. The Finish line is positioned closest to the Equipment shed. There are still a number of vacant positions that we need to fill, please contact us ASAP if you can fill any of these positions.:
We look forward to seeing all our members at the grounds tomorrow. Please note: in the event of inclement weather we will endeavour to have an announcement put up on our Facebook page and the website by 8.15am. We currently have low stock of some uniform items and have sold out of Size 6 t-shirts. However, we do have more T-shirts and hats on their way and they're expected to arrive before our season starts on Saturday 19th October 2024.
If you don't see the uniform size you would like during the registration process, simply skip that screen (press Next), complete your registration and you can purchase a uniform in person when you collect your athlete's registration pack. Our next registration collection day will be at training on Thursday, 17th October between 6-7pm. Reminders: Tiny Tots (U5) also have the option to wear a plain red t-shirt, since the smallest uniform we currently stock is Size6. If your athlete is registering for a trial you won't need to purchase a uniform at this time. The GUNLAC Come n Try Day is today! No registration is needed—just bring yourself and your kids in comfy athletic wear and get ready for a great time.
In addition to exploring our home grounds at the Amaroo Playing Fields, here are some of the exciting activities we have planned:
