Dear Peninsula Track Families,

The annual General Meeting will be held November 29, 2006 at 7:30 pm at the Saanich Peninsula Fellowship Church , 2159 Mt. Newton X Road , Saanichton.  If anyone is interested in joining the executive, we will be holding elections at the AGM and again, we encourage you to get involved.  Please join us for our meeting and some refreshments. 

We would like to welcome everyone back to a new season.  Last year was a very successful year for our athletes and our club and we hope that this year will be as successful and enjoyable for all of our athletes.

Our club is a volunteer organization and we need every family to be involved throughout the season.  We would like to thank you for your support last year at most of the events and we hope that this year we will have even more volunteers. We require your assistance at all of the meets, especially our own.

All meets are run by parent volunteers and each club has a specific task for which they are responsible. Our club duties are the long jump and timing. If parents don't show up to run an event that event will not happen. We try to schedule parents to work an event when his or her child is jumping but sometimes we still need to cover an event when no-one from our club is participating. It takes 4 people to run a long jump session smoothly and we generally need to provide 3 timers. At our own meet we need everyone to be involved as there are many jobs to be done during the 2 day event.

The events that the club is hosting for next season are: George Dean Track and Field Meet, April 21 and 22 -- VIAA Pentathlon/Peninsula Throws Meet, June 3 -- Sidney Days 5km Fun Run/Walk, July 1 -- and Peninsula Cross Country Challenge, October 28. Please mark these dates in your calendar in advance and keep them open for track and field.  Please understand that we need your involvement to help the season flow smoothly and allow our athletes to continue to participate in the many meets available.  If you have any questions concerning volunteer duties, please feel free to contact myself or any executive member. 

We can never have enough coaches so we welcome anyone who may be interested to step forward. The club will help to organize clinics and pay for any coaching clinics that are applicable.

Sincerely,

Nancy Fredeen (co-president)

Yours Truly,

Peninsula Track & Field Club
