We will continue to seek advice from LANSW and NSWFT on how best to conduct an AGM and still comply with social distancing and constitutional requirements. In the meantime, everyone please stay safe and we will keep you informed of any developments. Yours in Sport Ronald Pollett Public Officer Mount Druitt Little Athletics Centre INC
