22.01.2022 Here is the program for COMPETITION WEEK 2. This week we are trialling a new sign on system: Sign your child on at the canteen. All that is needed here is athlete name and parent signature. This is for insurance purposes. Also complete your COVID sign-in at this time.... FIELD EVENT REGISTRATION- registration to compete in field events will now be done at each event. Eg. If you wish to compete in triple jump you must go to the triple jump pit and ask the official to register you. Please remember due to time restrictions we have limited number of competitors allowed in each event. If you miss out on your preferred time you will need to wait until the second running of the event. TRACK EVENT REGISTRATION- registration for track events will be done at the finish line. A table will be set up and an official will be there to take registrations. Please try to register for your field events early as possible so heats can be drawn up. Registrations for track events will close 15 minutes prior to scheduled start time. We are hoping that this rego system will place less pressure on both parents and officials. HELP NEEDED We require a number of official volunteers to help at each event station, in particular we are looking for someone to take TRACK EVENT REGISTRATIONS. If you are willing to help and are available from approximately 4pm to man the track event registration/recording desk please inbox us. If we get multiple volunteers we can put you on a roster for this task. Remember we can't go ahead without your help.
