Entries Close
11th February, 2011
Each season clubs are given a set number of events that they
must supply officials and chiefs for. Our Events for this Season are:
Long Jump 1
Triple Jump 1
High Jump 1
This season we have members and generous parents that will
chief each event. As usual we will be calling on parents to be
helpers. These tasks can be anything from measuring distance of jumps to raking a long jump pit. There will be someone to assist you and show you the ropes. it’s a great way to
get out and see your child compete up close. Please check
with the chief of officials Lisa Purcell-Fitt as you arrive so that
you can be given your instructions. Lisa will not be running a
Roster System at this stage and will call when help required.
We ask that you remain in the Metro area as the chief of officials will not have the time to run around looking for all helpers. If we are unable to find helpers for an event, events will
not run and it will be classed as not helping (unless you are
absent on the day), so it is in your child's’ best interest for you
to help out. The club will be keeping records of those that assist.

Rug rats retreat
Notices will be sent out by e-mail and available at the Metro Tables in the next weeks.....
You will need to RSVP by the end of the season, Saturday 5th March, 2011. List will be at the entrance to Rug Rats listing all Little Athletes to gain entry to the
venue.
We would also like parents to think about joining the Metro Committee.
Position Descriptions will be located on the Metro Tables (See Leeanne or Lauren) so you can decided what position you would like to fill...... If you have ideas on
what direction the club should be going or doing please give great consideration to joining the team and putting your suggestions forward. Some of our existing members have served for some time now and they would love to see some new faces. With this in mind we were very lucky to have been a club this season that has not
struggled to fill key positions within the committee. But, without an executive committee the Club WILL fold. We are all just Mum’s and Dad’s, we don’t have any
formal training. We all work together for our kids and yours. We hope that some of you feel the same and join the committee s o we can continue our successes.
If you are interested or would like any additional information on any positions please see Lauren (President), Rebecca (Vice President) or Leeanne (Secretary).
