|
Meet #8 this weekend and it looks like it could be a hot one! Please make sure all athletes have sun protection and water bottles. For our athletes who are in Melbourne competing at the Australian Athletics All Schools Championships this weekend, all the best for a great meet.
Now that everyone has had a chance to get their uniforms we will be checking that athletes are wearing the correct uniform. You must have the Age Patch and official 2025-26 Registration Number attached correctly to a Gungahlin club shirt. Having the correct uniform is a requirement of the club and assists us to identify our athletes, form a sense of community and is extremely useful for our Age Group Managers, Track Assistants and Photographer. If you do not have any of these items (Club top, Age Patch or Registration Number) please see a committee member at the sheds to replace or purchase these items. ******UPCOMING EVENTS & COMPETITIONS****** Please check the event links to confirm all eligibility and dates.
