Sat 16 Aug : Re-Registration Day
The City North Little Athletics season for 2014/15 is starting soon. We are holding our re-enrolment day this Saturday 16th of August 2014 for our existing athletes.
This re-enrolment day has been set aside for all existing athletes to speed up our enrolment process, and will be held at our Club House (Windsor Park, Albion) from 2:30pm to 4pm.
If you cannot make this day, you can still re-enrol when our competition re-commences during our 2 Come and Try Competition days on the following 2 weekends. These competition days start at 1:45pm on Saturdays so that we can start the competition at 2pm sharp. We will be processing all enrolments from 1:15pm on these days.
We are in the final stages of getting a new enrolment process operational via our web site prior to the start of this season. We are expecting to email each family again with details of how to log in, with the ability to re-enrol and to change any details using this function in the next few days. We will be sending another email about this process to your primary email address, with further details soon.
Unfortunately although you will be able to change your details online, we have been unable to organise for you to pay online as yet. After changing these details you can print out your changed / confirmed registration details but you will still need to come to the club house to pay for your registration. We accept payments via Cash and EFTPOS. We also will accept payments via VISA and Mastercard credit cards only.
Our fees for our season (Late August 2014 to mid March 2015) have been left at the same amounts as last year and are shown below.
1st and 2nd Child $160
3rd Child & Subsequent Children (over 6) $145
Under 6's – 1st & 2nd Child $145
Under 6's – 3rd & subsequent children $115
Parent levy (Committee Exempt) - $60 per Family unless you qualify for a refund for last year
Uniforms
Polo Shirts $40
Girls Bike Pants $30
Boys Shorts $30

We will still be running training on Tuesday and Thursday nights with coaches in attendance, starting on Tuesday 26th of August 2014.
We all look forward to see you all back for another exciting year of fun and friendly competition, with our competition starting again on Saturday 23rd of August at 1:45pm.

Saturday 15 March
AGM – 2pm
This Saturday we will commence with our AGM at 2pm. All parents can attend. The main task is election of our new committee. We do need some new committee members and it is not difficult to become involved. New parents can start in an assisting role and learn about the club and Little Athletics.
If you are interested please attend from 2pm this Saturday. The agenda can be found here.
3pm – 4pm - Cross country races and Parents v Athletes 100m races
At 3pm we will start holding our cross country races around Windsor Park being distances of 300m, 500m, 1km and 1.5km depending on age group. We will also hold some 100m races with parents racing their children.
4pm – 5:30pm – Trophy, Certificate and Award presentations
We will then have our presentation of certificates and trophies. The results of the Club championship will be announced and certificates and medals to top 3 given out. Further information is on the flyer which can be found here.
We will have a small party at the conclusion of trophy presentation and we would ask the u6 to u8 families to bring a dessert, u9 to u11 families to bring a salad or main and u12 to u17 families to bring drinks.
State Champs – 21 to 23 March – Cairns
Information about the state champs has already been distributed. The final team list can be found here. Do not be concerned if you are on the list if not attending. Respond immediately if you believe you should be on the list.
The program for the event is on the QLAA website – www.qlaa.asn.au. It will be responsibility for athlete and parents in Cairns to get to the event on time (be aware that events can be brought forward), ensure that full uniform is worn with all patches and spike and “skin” rules followed. We will not have any team manager or coaches in Cairns.
Good luck to our athletes in Cairns.

Thank you Brisbane City Council
Thank you Brisbane City Council for our recent grant
On 15 March 2013 the Office of the Lord Mayor supported our not-for-profit organisation, City North Little Athletics, with a community and sports clubs grant of $704.50.
During this round council awarded a total of $1,451,698.35 to organisations like ours.
Our club used these funds to assist our volunteers in the following ways.
1. The purchase of a new notebook for our treasurer.
2. The purchase of equipment to assist with data entry of personal bests and other results. This included the purchase of the equipment and its installation. The following items were purchased with the assistance of these funds.
a). The purchase of a trolley to move the equipment around,
b). The purchase of a wireless / network switch and related items,
c). The purchase of a 12V to 240V Inverter, Heavy Duty battery and a Battery charger, and
d). The purchase of a network license for our Team Manager software.
By receiving this grant our club has been able to allocate the grant money along with its own funds to get this project completed. We now have the ability to have up to 3 computer systems functional on the field and this provides a more timely way for our volunteers to enter data, saving them having to enter some of it after the event has finished. Anything that saves our volunteers time is always appreciated.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Lord Mayor and Brisbane City Council for providing the grant and for assisting us in this endeavour.
