We will be holding a Club Strategic Planning Day on Saturday 2nd May and welcome your attendance on this day (finer details TBC). Everyone is welcome to attend and participate (not just committee members). There will be important topics up for discussion as we look to brainstorm ideas so we can develop a new strategic plan and identify new club goals to improve the Little Athletics experience for all. More info to follow.

We also would appreciate your participation in our End of Season survey which in addition to our Planning Day will help us plan identifying our strengths and areas to improve going forward. Your information, feedback and ideas is welcomed! Survey Link - https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/6bFtc8Tqbg

Cross Country is right around the corner commencing Saturday 9th May (first week will be at Keilor). A free trial is encouraged for all athletes with a $20 cost for the season which goes towards trophies. Further information will be published in the next week. This is a great way to stay fit and stay involved in Little Aths during the winter months. As part of the calendar, we will be hosting a week of Cross Country on Saturday 13th June - that is one day not to miss!
