Fri 7-Sun 9 Feb : Regionals
Regional Championships – Friday 7 to Sunday 9 February
The Regional Championships will be held at Bowden Park, Geebung this coming weekend. We will not be having a competition at Windsor Park this Saturday.
The list of athletes and events can be found here as is the most recent program – work off this program and note that events can be brought forward by 30 minutes. Be at the ground at least 1 hour before the event time.
We will have tents at the ground but bring folding chairs, hats water bottles etc. Full uniform must be worn – shirts and shorts with all patches being the age patch, registration number and IGA and Medibank Private patches.
Skins must be worn inside out and the use of spikes is limited as per the spike rule sheet which can be found here. If you are going to wear spikes you must wear regular shoes to the starting area and change there.
We will have 2 coaches in attendance at all times Saturday and Sunday to help athletes with warm-up, technique, strategy etc. Look for the coaches and consult with them. A number of committee will also be in attendance.
It is our club’s job to look after one of the long jump pits and parents will be asked to help with this as well as with timekeeping of events. Committee members will be asking parents to help out with timekeeping and in the long jump pit.
Good luck to our 99 athletes competing this weekend. This a qualifier for the State Champ event which will be held towards the end of March.
If there is any issue with rain or uncertainty about the event David Nyssen, Asst Centre Manager, can be contacted on 0410 657 252. If there is a bit of rain this is highly unlikely to lead to postponement of the event. Events might be delayed due to rain but will almost certainly proceed this weekend.
Training – Tuesday and Thursday
We will have training on both Tuesday and Thursday this week and next week for all age groups from 6pm at Windsor Park.
We will be back at Windsor Park for our Saturday competition on Saturday 15 Feb at 3pm.
