City North Little Athletics - Training week of 10 October
We will be having 2 training sessions this week - on Tues 11 Oct from 6pm and Thurs 13 Oct from 6pm both at Windsor Park.
Our Tuesday session will be our usual session with running and field event training. We will try to start promptly at 6pm so everyone can get away on time at 7:15pm. We will be splitting up into smaller groups which should also speed things up - for this we will need quite a bit of parent help.
We will also have a Thursday session from 6pm to 7:15pm and which will focus on Hurdles training given the upcoming Aspley Pentathlon this coming Sunday 16 October in which many of the athletes compete in a hurdles race. All athletes, regardless of whether signed up for the Aspley Pentathlon, are encouraged to attend Thursday's training session.
We will also have some further hurdles training this coming Saturday from 2pm.
Final sign up for the Aspley Pentathlon (to be held Sunday 16 October at Bowden Park, Geebung, from 9am) can occur Tuesday night at Windsor Park.

Wet Weather Update - Sat 8th Oct
The weather forecast and radar is for the storm to clear shortly. Windsor Park on recent inspection is in good shape with the track fine to run on if the weather clears.
Accordingly, as of now, we will try to proceed with the training at 2pm and competition at 3pm. If it does keep raining then we will have to cancel but it should be clear by 2pm.
Regardless of the weather committee members will be at the clubhouse this afternoon and uniforms and numbers can be collected and athletes can register for the Aspley Pentathlon.
