The annual General Meeting
will be held
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. Currently, 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 19 and 20 -- VIAA Pentathlon/Peninsula Throws Meet, June 1 -- Sidney Days 5km Fun Run/Walk, July 1 -- and Peninsula Cross Country Challenge, October 18. 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. With the death of Eleanor Richardson there is a big hole in our coaching staff so we are desparately looking for coaches to fill the gap. The club will help to organize clinics and pay for any coaching clinics that are applicable.
Sincerely,
Tom Dingle (Events coordinator and statistician)
Yours Truly,
Peninsula Track & Field Club
