6 WET WEATHER ANNOUNCEMENTS Despite the best efforts of the sports department to push for games to be played where possible, it is inevitable that the weather will cause some games and training to be cancelled. Parents and students are encouraged to follow MCA Secondary Sports on twitter for the most up to date announcements regarding training and games. This can be accessed by both the internet and via most telephones and I encourage all parents and students to sign up and follow MCA Secondary Sport as this will be the first place that any announcements will be made regarding wet weather notices. Those with an iphone or similar can download the twitter app and receive instant updates directly to their phones free of charge. I encourage all parents and boys to visit the College web site and follow the links which explain how to create your own twitter account and follow us. PLEASE NOTE: boys/families should not assume that games are cancelled. If no notification has been given, players should attend their scheduled matches as usual. CROSS COUNTRY MCA Cross Country Coordinator: Pat Webster websterp@marash.qld.edu.au Regular Cross Country training has resumed this week and it has been wonderful to see such enthusiastic participation so far.

MCA XC WEBSITE & SMARTPHONE APP: In seeking a more efficient means of sharing information, we have developed an MCA Cross Country smartphone app & website. It is hoped that this will make it easier for both parents & squad members to keep up to date with the many and various happenings related to Cross Country and hopefully it might lessen the dependence on communication. The app is completely free, and it's been great to see over 80 parents and 95 boys sign up already. Please see below for instructions with how to: (1) access the website; and (2) upload the app. 1.

Attendance is of course voluntary, and boys are certainly not expected nor permitted to forgo their other College sports to participate in these runs.
