Saturday 21 January 2012
The program for this Saturday can be found by clicking here. We will be having training from 2pm in a variety of events including hurdles, shot put and discus and then the program will start at 3pm.
Training Thursday 19 January - 6pm Windsor Park
The weather cleared on Tuesday night and a number of our athletes had the benefit of suprisingly good weather and an excellent training session. Our next training session will be tomorrow night - Thursday from 6pm and we will be training in a number of events, followed by the training session from 2 to 3pm on Saturday. Given it is just 2 weeks until the Regional Champs athletes should be trying to get in as much training as possible.
Regional Championships
The Regional Championships, which is an individual event competition, will be held at the Arana Club from Friday 3 Feb to Sunday 5 Feb 2012. Athletes can nominate in up to 5 events of their choice (as long as available in their age group) and the cost is $10. Athletes only need to attend when their events are on. All athletes are encouraged to compete - it is not about qualifying for the state championships but trying to achieve a personal best which is what an event like this gives every athlete an opportunity to do. There will be no competition at Windsor Park that Saturday.
The program and the nomination form can be found by clicking here. The deadline for nominating is 21 January and given that this is less than a week away nominations should be submitted soon. This can be done at the club this at any training session this week, this coming Saturday or by return to this email.
Full uniform and number, age patch and IGA patch are required to participate in the Regional Championships.

Saturday 14 January 2012 - 3pm - Windsor Park - City North Little Athletics
We will be starting the second half of the season this coming Saturday 14 January 2012 at 3pm at Windsor Park. Whilst we have been experiencing hot weather it is predicted to be cooler this weekend and there is always the afternoon breeze at Windsor Park each afternoon which cools things down as well.
The program for this Saturday can be found by clicking here. Please arrive a bit before 3pm for a prompt start.
Registrations for the Regional Championships will also be taken on the day. We may have training from 2pm on Saturday and confirmation of this will be sent later in the week. Tuesday and Thursday training from 6pm at Windsor Park will start next Tuesday 17 January.

State Relays - Sat 10 Dec 2011
State Relays - Saturday 10 Dec 2011
Our final team and the schedule for the State Relays can be found by clicking here for those participating this Saturday. Please check your events carefully and note times on the schedule. All participants should be there 1 hour prior to event and meet your teammates at the far corner of the track near where the 100m start line usually is - there is a fenced in grassed warm-up area there. We will have relay batons and will try to bring other equipment necessary for warmup in the field events.
Full uniform (club shorts & shirt) must be worn with age patch, IGA patch and number.
The event is at the smaller track next to the former Commonwealth Games stadium at Nathan (now known as ANZ stadium and previously QEII stadium), entry off Kessels Rd.
There is some wet weather around but given it is an all weather track the event will almost certainly proceed with at worst some stoppages, so turn up regardless of the conditions.
Training this Thursday at Windsor Park will proceed unless it is raining at 6pm.
Best wishes to all of our athletes competing this Saturday.
