Northern Illawarra (NILAC) is a Little Athletics club affiliated with Little Athletics Association of NSW (LAANSW) and conduct competition under their guidelines.
We are based at Bulli High School athletics area via the Alroy Street entrance. The season runs during the school terms FOUR 2009 and ONE 2010 (~October to March). No competition is held during school holidays however there are other clubs/regions/state competitions held that a NILAC LAA member may participate at.
PRESENTATION NIGHT
A great night was had by all. Will hopefully have some photos to display soon and a list of winners.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Our AGM was held at the Presentation Night.
Our new Club President is Melinda Dugan and Vice President is Ross Jardine. Our new committee members are listed under the Committee tab.
It was a bit disappointing with the number of volunteers who put up their hands to help out next season. One of the most important roles, Equipment Officer, was sadly not filled. This is a role that ensures our Fridays will run well. The person would have to bring out the equipment and then pack it away each week. There are always a few helpers to help with this.
There was no volunteers for Canteen Officer and this will have to be looked into further with the Canteen now a small building on it's own after the equipment shed was knocked down today!
We had no volunteers to go on the General Committee. This is a great role to "introduce" yourself into the workings of the Committee and know what is going on. If anyone would like to nominate themselves for any of the outstanding positions, please contact Melinda or Barbara.
Our Next meeting for the new season will be 9th July at 7.30pm at Woonona-Bulli RSL Club.
STATE
Well what can we say - with only six competitors from our club - we did well. In fact we had two medallists. Molly Dugan came second in the U/13 Girls Javelin and Todd Methven came third in U/10 Boys High Jump.
All children did their best and it was a great sight to see our club represented in all different types of sport. We had high jumpers, long jumpers, hurdlers, discus, shotput, javelin, and short, middle and long distance runners. It was a great effort by our kids and the cheering from the parents on the side lines was wonderful.
SPRINT TRAINING
For all those young up-and-coming athletes out there, sprint training will be held on Thursday afternoons at Bulli High School Track from 5.30pm. Come and have some fun and get some great tips and tricks.
LOST PROPERTY
There is some lost property so if you are missing a hat, shirt or drink bottle please come to the canteen and check.
IF IN DOUBT WITH WEATHER
Look forward to seeing you all this Friday and don't forget to SMS "NILAC" to 199 22 767 after 3pm if the weather is in doubt (cost of $0.55 per call).
For a full list of competition dates please see our Calendar.
THANKS
We would like to thank the parents and others for your continue help out around the field and in the canteen. If you can spare a few hours every now and again it would be very much appreciated by all (ESPECIALLY YOUR CHILDREN!).
Without your help we cannot run efficiently or effectively and the only people who suffer are your children.
