Championships are not far away so make sure the correct badges are fitted. If unsure, please ask, as athletes won t be allowed to compete if these sponsor badges are not in place. Athletes are also required to have competed in 25 events, with this badge placed on the back of the shirt. At our Centre Championships athletes need to have competed in each event twice to qualify to compete in that event. Thank you to all who have already helped out at the barbecue or in the canteen. This is our main fundraiser for the year and your help is always appreciated. Keep up the good work. Thank you also to the committee and everyone who helps out on site. As the saying goes many hands make light work. Things also run a lot smoother and we get home a little quicker. What a beautiful day it turned out to be for our PB day. We had 212 PB s achieved with 88 athletes receiving a badge. Well done to everyone. Badges can now be collectfrom the office. The State Multi Event and Walk Championships for U9 to U15 are being held on the 19 th /20 th January at our very own track. No qualifying standards are required however athletes must have competed in 25 events by the 7 th January. Entry fee is $15 per athlete and registration is to be completed online. This portal is the same as your registration login, is now open and closes on Monday 7 th January @ 6pm.

If athletes are interested they must be committed to travelling to Launceston for this event. Fees will apply. Our red and white day will also be in January. Athletes are asked to either dress in red or white or design something with the theme Coles in mind. We have a lot of fun, photos are taken and submitted to the President for the competition. Individual and centre prizes are on offer and will be given out at the State Little Athletic Championships. We have been very successful in the past. It s also time for sponsorship of our age groups. Each gender in each age group can be sponsored for $100. Businesses and families will be recognised in the newsletter, on their sponsored age group baskets and throughout our Championships. Thank you to : Coastal Electronics U13B & U13G;TasValve for already sponsoring U10 & U11 Girls. Wynyard Transport U8B & U8G, U9B & U9G Invitation Day is on Sunday 13 th January. This is a day we invite athletes from all over the state to come and compete on our track. Events can be brought for $20 each and you will receive naming rights to that event for the day. Also sponsorship can be made through gifts to donate to our raffle prizes. You/your business will receive recognition throughout the day of your contributions. We are also looking for volunteers to come forward and be mentored into more official roles. These jobs may look hard but they aren t. So if you want to have a go at starting.chief timekeeping..result entry, both track and field. maybe even canteen come and have a go! It s also that time to look for committee members ready for AGM in June. Sadly we will at this stage be saying goodbye to our treasurer and chief timekeeper Dale Hyland as his time nears an end, when Amy finishes as an U15. If you are interested or know of someone keen to join our awesome committee, come and see me. Records from PB day U12G Taya Munday broke her own Shotput record with a put of 11.61m.

Page 3 COMMITTEE 20182019: BLAC NEWSLETTER President: Michelle Scolyer 0418 106 210 michellescolyer@bigpond.com Vice President: Peter French Secretary: Callie Collins secretary.blac@gmail.com Records & Rankings: Carleen Darby Treasurer: Dale Hyland Newsletter /Website: Nat Luttrell Canteen roster: Jodie Fuller Canteen Managers: Sonia Gorrie/Annette Aichberger General Committee: Paul Bellchambers, Jodie Fuller, Anna and Sam Lawler, David Taylor, Renee Williams & Brianna Hutton COMMITTEE AIMS & EXPECTATIONS The Committee s aim is to: Provide an enjoyable sport for your children. Provide a safe environment for athletes, parents, siblings and spectators. Teach and/or coach the correct manner in which to compete in each event. Organize each meet so it can be completed as efficiently as possible. Provide safe and compliant equipment to use. Keep costs down so that athletics is affordable to all. Provide an avenue to enter into senior athletics. Support all athletes of all abilities equally. Provide information from Tasmanian Little Athletics as soon as possible. Be aware of children with special needs, make allowances for them to compete & attain PB s. We believe we do this as best as we can, but are always open to suggestions to make this centre even better than it already is. The Committee s expectations from each parent are: Encourage your child, not criticize. Allow your child to have fun. We have all had our go at trying to be a super athlete, try not to live your life in their shoes. Stay and watch your kids. We are not a childcare centre, we host an event for your child to compete in, we provide a safe environment for this, and you are responsible for your child whilst they are on site. Emphasize PB s, not winning. Help out on site with the field events. This means measuring, spiking, raking or keeping the kids waiting patiently, quietly, together, and ensuring they are supportive to others competing. Have your turn in canteen or cooking on the barbecue. Pick up all rubbish that may be left behind by your group when leaving a site. Show respect to the person who is chief judging, they are doing their best & are a parent just like you. Have a Working with Children s Card up to date. (Working with Vulnerable People) If you take equipment from the cupboard please return it at the completion of the event. Should any equipment be broken, or poorly maintained report it to a committee member to allow prompt repair or replacement. Help when asked, if possible. The infield is out of bounds to everyone unless you are a crew member of an event. Please stay in the waiting areas as designated by the Chief Official. Always watch the apparatus being thrown, as sometimes a Discus, Shot Put or Javelin can be released in your direction by other athletes learning to perfect their throw, this is particularly important in Discus. When your child is entered in a state meet, our centre is responsible for providing qualified officials and event crew during this meet. For your child to compete, you will be required to assist at either field or track events. Even if your child has entered and doesn t compete on the day we are still required to do duties for this athlete so commitment once entered is paramount. If we all work as a team and comply with this document our meets will run smoothly and be an enjoyable place to be for not only the parents but to also the athletes competing. On behalf of myself and the committee thank you for your cooperation & assistance throughout the season.
