Saturday 12 October 2013 – 2pm
The program for this Saturday can be found here We will have our usual 2pm start and will also present some further club record certificates prior to the warm up.
Saturday Training – High Jump and Long Jump 1pm
We will be holding High Jump and Long Jump training for all age groups from 1pm this Saturday 12 October. This will be before the start of the program which will commence at 2pm so this will allow about an hour for high jump and long jump training. This will be particularly beneficial for those participating in the Aspley Pentathlon on Sunday.
Aspley Pentathlon – Sunday 13 October 2013
The order of events for the Aspley Pentathlon can be found here. Please be at Bowden Park, Geebung by 8:30am for warm-up. We will have some of our shade structures set up but bring fold out chairs. Parents need to be in attendance during the day. We have 65 athletes competing and good luck to all of them particularly those who are new to Little Athletics.
Entries can still be taken up to 8am on the day although there is now an increased fee of $15. Full club uniform, shorts and shirt, with age patch, registration number and IGA and Medibank patches must be worn. Spike use is limited to those u11 and up and only in some events. Make sure you have waffles or regular running shoes as well as spikes if you are going to wear spikes in some events as spikes can only be put on at the event. A PDF can be found here on the permitted use of spikes is attached. Another issue that comes up with uniforms is Skins – these must be worn inside out so the manufacturer’s name is not seen.
Tuesday and Thursday night Training
We had a very good turnout for training this past Tuesday and we will have our usual coaches in attendance tonight.
Our canteen is open for training as well as on Saturdays – all profits go to the club.

The training will be at the high jump area for flop and the field for scissors and all athletes are invited to attend.
The Long Jump training went well this past Saturday with a number of athletes in attendance.

It is chance to compete against other centres in a low key and well run event. There are always a good number of athletes who compete and we will have some of our shade structures at the ground for our athletes.
All athletes are encouraged to attend. The cost is $10 per athlete and nomination lists will be in the canteen from this on training nights and on Saturday. This Saturday 5 October will be the last date for nominations at Windsor Park although late nominations will be accepted for additional fee as per the flyer.

Sat 14 Sep 13 - Come & Try
Saturday 14 September
The program for this Saturday can be found here. We are starting our usual 5 event program. We start setting up tents and equipment from 1pm so any parents who can assist with this please attend at the equipment shed from that time.
We are also allowing new athletes to trial again this Saturday given many could not attend last Saturday and a Come & Try flyer can be found here. If you are aware of families who are interested in Athletics please pass on the flyer.
We do operate during the upcoming school holidays on the Saturdays and for Tues and Thurs training.
Coaching – Tuesday and Thursday
The training is continuing each Tues and Thurs from 6pm at Windsor Park. The lights on the eastern side of the ground remain under repair which makes high jump and long jump training difficult at this time of the year. Accordingly we will be focussing on running training (with some shot put, discus and javelin) for the next few weeks until the lights are fully operational.

Due to the lower than normal turn out last Saturday 7th September, we have decided to extend our Come and Try day to include this weekend. We had many people absent due to the Federal Election and the Wilston State School Fete.
The $10 free will be taken off your registration fee, should you decide to join us for the season.
Please click here for the flyer for this day.
