On competition nights

Families should gather in front of the clubrooms before 5pm. The event schedule for that night’s competition will be on display on the noticeboard, along with any other information for families. 


Before competition starts, athletes will be taken through a warm-up on the oval. 


After warm-up, athletes will return to the clubhouse for announcements and the announcement of PB awards. 



Age groups will then be directed to their first event. Competition usually finishes about 6.30pm.
