Hopefully everyone has recovered from the traditional Christmas/New Year festivities and is ready to get back in to the second half of the 2018/19 Little Athletics season.

This Saturday (12th January) sees us pick up on Program 1.

On behalf of the South Barwon LAC committee I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Please be safe and enjoy your holidays.

We hope that we see everyone back on Saturday 12th January for the start of the second half of the 2018/19 GLAC Track & Field season.

Wayne (SBLAC President)
