13.01.2022 Good Luck to all our athletes competing this weekend at the 2020 Zone Championships. #goodluckall #zone2 #gokelmscott

11.01.2022 Hi everyone, Nathan, BLAC president here, this one is going to be a little long. But please take the time to read it. I would appreciate that. It is about our 5...0th year anniversary celebrations. Our gold anniversary! By this time in the season, most newbies would probably know who I am and hopefully all our multi year parents especially do. You will have probably seen me setting up, packing up, fixing something or the rest of the time sauntering around with my camera trying to capture memories for you of your kids. What some know and many don't, is that once, a life time ago, I was a Belmont Little athlete as well. It was a massive part of my childhood. And a huge chunk of my best memories revolve around Athletics and BLAC in particular. That love of Athletics from childhood never died, it was just put on the back burner for a long time, right up till my kids were old enough to join. I was able to come back! I loved being back, being a parent of children competing. Learning how the other side of aths works, the parts were all the volunteers make it run, week in week out. There are a dedicated bunch of aths crazies that make the centre what it is, a fabulous place for your kids to make memories and hopefully one day in the future, they too will bring their kids back to Gerry Archer to experience the joy of watching their kids compete. Making memories. As the head crazy of the centre sometimes I have so much passion for Athletics and our centre that I am not really on the same level with the rest of our members, a bit out of touch perhaps. And as such I have all these ideas for ways to make the centre the best centre there is. To make our athletes want to come back year after year, to celebrate our 50th birthday in a way never done before. To create memories for our athletes and parents alike. To hold a giant birthday party and make it a gala-ball. Initially I wanted to have the ball AT Gerry Archer, hire a marquee, have it in the centre of the oval, get some amazing catering and entertainment and make it something people would talk about for years. However that quickly became completely cost prohibitive, with tickets to cost hundreds of dollars each to cover costs (which is beyond ridiculous) We don't have any sort of budget for these celebrations (we are an Athletics club, our income should cover Athletics related activities), so they need to pay for themselves. So we moved it next door to the Belmont sports and recreation club, reducing the cost by about $10k They have a fantastic facility there, nice, air-conditioned function room that can handle 250 guest with bar facilities and all the amenities we would need to hold a ball. I got told that if we were having a ball for the older athletes and parents that we needed to do something for our younger athletes, so we decided to do a disco for them. All On the same day, same decorations, same everything to try and keep costs as low as possible. So we finally come to the point of this long winded drivel of mine. We thought the ball would be popular (maybe this is the part where I am out of touch), we thought the disco would be popular. But so far neither of them have been, we were hoping for around 200 at the ball, we need about that for it to not cost the centre any of its money. So far 13 people have bought tickets for the ball and 7 for the disco, and when I went a spoke to the older athletes on Saturday about it many of them never even knew anything about it. I know the ball is at a bad time of year, it was the only time to hold it, it can't be on a day we have competition, can't be before the season or after the season, so that leaves 3 weekends of the season free. That's why we gave everyone plenty of notice so you could prioritise this once of a lifetime event over others. We know it seems expensive. However for roast meal, salads and dessert, plus drinks, plus birthday cake, plus chocolate/lolly bar, photo booth, music/dancing, with 200 people sharing the costs it just covers costs. We know that the dress code seems high. But we wanted it to be something special, not just a birthday party, but a Ball, something the kids could look forward to, something to dress up to go to, something to create memories at. But it would seem that they don't even know about it. So if you were going to buy tickets you will need to do it by Saturday, if we don't get another hundred or so people going, and that is to both, disco and ball we will have to cancel them both. Memories, it's a bit of a theme for me. So come join me in helping our athletes make memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. Take your kids to the disco/Ball. Come along on your own, and enjoy a fantastic night of food and fun. Athletics people are the best people, Cheers A always optimistic Nathan

It can be as simple as raking a sand pit or collecting shotputs. Parental help is organised through a weekly roster which is usually arranged a couple of weeks in advance. Each family is rostered evenly throughout the season. The number of times each family must complete a roster depends on how many registered athletes we have.
