Dear MAC Families

Happy New Year! We hope you’re having an enjoyable break.

A few reminders for those filling their 2022 calendars.

We have 2 regular competitions remaining – Sat 29 Jan & Sat 5 Feb

These are both twilight comps with timings as follows:

• 4.00pm for gates set up
• 4.30pm for roster sign on

There are followed by our Centre Championships on 26 Feb & 12 Mar.

To be eligible to compete in an event at Centre Champs athletes must meet the following criteria:

• U6-U12: Have competed in the event 3 times during the season
• U13+: Have competed in the event 2 times during the season

TRAINING – U11+

Training will recommence from Mon 17/1 for both our regular Tues group (summer events) & middle distance (Mon & Wed) groups.
