Thanks to all our South Barwon athletes and parents who contributed to an amazing first meet of the season last Saturday. We’re looking forward to seeing you all again on the 14th!

Getting started

If you haven’t already collected a bib, and you registered (and, if you’re new, provided your proof of age documentation) before Wednesday 11 October, we should have your competition bib at the South Barwon tent on Saturday morning. All competitors will need to be accompanied to the bib collection point by a parent or guardian, as we will have the volunteering duty rosters available for the pre-Christmas events.

We will also have uniform items on display and for sale at our tent. If you would like to order beforehand and beat the rush, please send us a message on southbarwonathletics@gmail.com or via our Facebook page.

This week’s events

This week is Week 2 on the GLAC program. Events start from around 8.00am, so listen for the announcement for your child’s age group. Each event call is made three times before the event begins. OnTrackers, the program for our U6s and U7s, will start at around 8.30am.
