25.01.2022 During the 2020/2021 season, LAQ will conduct the second trial of the Teams Event, which aims to encourage LAQ U13 U17 members (of all ability) continued participation in athletics in all levels of competition, increased development, and provide assistance with the transition between LAQ to QA. This season, Summer and Winter Centres are being encouraged to participate. The overall concept is based on athletes participation in various levels of competitions, earning points ...for their ‘Team’. Centre Teams consisting of 5-10 athletes, with each athlete aiming to earn as many points as possible over a series of competitions for their team. Some of our U13-U17 athletes have made a Team, North Rocky Rebels. We are currently sitting 3rd place. This is a virtual competition between teams from Winter Season Centres. So far, we have accumulated 3275 points from competing in events listed as part of our normal Sunday meets. Great work team and good luck for the next few weeks!

24.01.2022 Well done to those few athletes that participated at the Bundaberg Spring Carnival. It was a credit to Little Athletics-Queensland to run a carnival that size and run so well. I was Team Manager and an Official and always come away from weekends like these, having learnt a bit more. Results were:-... Mirae - 1st in hurdles, 2nd in long jump, 2nd in triple, 3rd in high jump Gabby - 3 x PB's from 5 events Bailee - 1 x PB out of 5 events Lexi - 2nd in long, 2nd in 100m, 2nd in 400m & 3rd in 200m, Ellie - 1 PB from 3 events Emmerson - 1 x PB and 1st place in hurdles, from 5 events Tyler - 2 x PB's from 5 events Isaac - 2 x PB's and 2 medals from 5 events. Our littlest athlete of the day was Grace in U6 who participated in a few events. xx One of our graduating athletes, Rebekah also competed in the Open Womens', and received 1st in triple jump, 1st in long jump, 1st in high jump & 1st in javelin. This Centre Manager also decided last minute to compete for the first, and last time, this year, in the Open Womens', in discus and shot put I always enjoy getting out there and having a go and Emmerson tells me she likes having her Mum compete :) Well done to you all.

24.01.2022 Hi all In relation to the correct uniforms for Regionals, which I spoke about today, I have had a few Parents enquire about socks. Whilst we do have Club socks for sale, it is not a requirement of LAQ or considered part of the Centre uniform. Socks however, must be worn below the knees. Any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on 0417 555 560 or [email protected].... Sandi #onemoreweek #family #fun #fitness

23.01.2022 Hi all Please note, we have not used our athlete generated email system for some time this year, this FB page is our only method of communication and has been for some time. We would greatly appreciate it if you could share these FB posts so our members that don't follow our page, can perhaps see them in your feed. :) We will hopefully have our email system up and running in 2021. ... The Club email is [email protected], or myself on [email protected]. Thanks heaps Sandi Broromhall

23.01.2022 Good luck to the athletes listed below, who are competing at Spring Carnival in Bundaberg this weekend:- North Rockhampton Little A Broomhall, Emmerson Brown, Bailee... Cherry, Gabriella Colquhoun, Grace Dahler, Isaac Dahler, Tyler Goodwin, Ellie Goodwin, Lexi Ries, Mirae LAQ have advised me to check your emails late Thursday or Friday for an email with the program and a few more things you will need to know. http://laq.org.au//sites/5/2020/08/spring_draft-program.pdf https://laq.org.au/competition/resullts/ https://www.medalshotsphotos.com/f332017458 http://laq.org.au//COVID-Advice-for-Athletes-Spectators-Vo http://laq.org.au//up/sites/5/2018/11/Codes-of-Conduct.pdf Safe travels and best of luck!

23.01.2022 As we near the end of our shortened COVID season, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank a few people! To those Parents/Caregivers that go around with your children each week - thankyou To those Parents/Caregivers/Committee members that set up and pack down each week - thankyou. It is not the Committee's job to do this weekly, we can't start each week unless events have enough help and we are set up.... To the Parents that have an LAQ coaching background and have assisted with groups - thankyou. To my Committee members, what a year we have had. Lots of behind the scenes jobs and meetings to get us to be able to start, and keep going. None of us get paid for doing what we do, we all have jobs, husbands that work away, and families of our own. We do what we do for the Club because we see the enjoyment our kids, and yours, get out of Little Athletics. Mick & Paul for always having our grounds ready and marked for us to go, Mal & Wayne for backing them up, Helen for your input at meetings and your kids helping weekly, Jamika for making sure we have our canteen and weekly bananas, Rebekah for running our uniforms, Emma & Rebekah for the weekly input of our events, Ray & Benj for always being there to help out when needed, Paul for putting together the weekly events & printing them out,and for being the one I always "go to" for your wealth of information, for Jeremiah for being our amazing Registrar and Assistant Secretary, for Vikki, for our awesome Treasurer, applying for Grants, and being Assistant Secretary. It's been an interesting year with COVID and no Secretary but I am proud to be part of this Club and for the assistance I receive along the way. To Little Athletics-Queensland for all your support too, it has helped immensely. See you all tomorrow for a fun event for Dads, and our Father's Day sizzle! Sandi Broomhall

22.01.2022 Don't forget this is our last week this Sunday, Father's Day - Jamika will have a sausage sizzle going with a $5 meal deal, cooking from 2.30pm.

13.01.2022 Our 2020 athletics breakup/presentations/AGM was held yesterday. I see all the kids (and some Parents) had fun at the pool. Only an 8 week season, for obvious reasons, but boy what a season we had. We still had 79 registered athletes and our Club had over 600 PB's performed, and close to 10 Club records being broken. Well done team - awesome effort. I am so proud of you all, and how you all conducted yourselves this year. Finn & Oliver took out the Most Achieved PB's awa...rd this year. We had a few special awards yesterday to two of our athletes, Jye & Emmerson receiving their 10 year athlete participation awards & badges, and two athletes, Mirae & Jye receiving their Graduating athletes vouchers Jye & Mirae have both been wonderful for our Club and we will miss them - they assure me they will be back next year to pop their heads in & maybe even to assist here & there! A few of our long term Club Committee received Honour Certificates from LAQ, and four were also voted in as Life Members of NRAC - Congratulations to all. Vikki Wheeler our 2019 & 2020 Treasurer was awarded Volunteer of the year for NRAC. Thank you to Vikki for all her hard work behind the scenes for our Grants this year.

05.01.2022 Thank-you to those Parents/Caregivers that took time out of their weekends to take their athletes to the Agnes Water/1770 Little Athletics Regional Championships, I am so thankful for Sophie Peters & her committee for being able to bring this together during COVID-19, and for Little Athletics-Queensland for all their assistance along the way. It was a great run event. I had quite a few of our athletes come to me at several times during the weekend to tell me of the fun they ...were having, the PB's they did, or the medals they won Well done, remember #family #fun #fitness. I especially love these weekends as it allows new friendships to be made, whether between athletes at their own Clubs, from other Clubs, or even between Parents, it makes me so happy. I have a special mention, Pippa injured herself on morning one, before she even got to compete, and had to be taken to Bundy in the ambulance. We hope you heal soon Pippa and will come back to us in 2021. Thank-you to those 11 or 12 families that stepped us to assist at the marshaling tent, to Paul for Track Ref, Mick and Mal for starting and to Rebekah for helping in the Records room, thank-you to Ray for helping us set the tents up on Friday, to all who assisted, from every Club, when our tents blew upside down and then put back together, and for those that stayed and assisted with pack up. To Malcolm, my husband, for being my rock, for taking our trailer with all the equipment that was needed for the weekend, thank-you! Here is a few photos of the March past and our Club before the events started. I am proud of every one of you, thank-you. Congratulations to our U17 graduating athletes, who both broke records this weekend, Jye & Mirae, it is always sad to see our seniors go, but we hope to see you around the Club on Sundays next year.
