Registration is now open for the new season.

- Club Nights
Club nights incorporates athletes from 14 years through to masters. This is to develop a pathway from the Junior section to Seniors. Our club nights are Mondays from 6pm onwards. This season we will have a club night followed by a training night the following week, there is a programme on the website however this may change due to numbers on the night.
- Team environment & club spirit
Our intention is to continue to grow the team environment as we have found the athletes enjoy the comraderie, and when competing at outside events will always form up as a group for warm ups and to support their teammates competing. We intend to build our relay teams in all age groups earlier in the season. We also hope to fit in a couple of out of town competition weekends.
- Season Spring CleanThe combined Senior and Junior Track and Field sections are holding a working bee on Sunday the 22nd of Setember from 9 am – to tidy the track area, clean out the equipment shed and mark out the field for the new season.
