Round 9 - Combined Event Day - This Saturday 25. January
We’re back at the track this Saturday 25. January! We will be running a standard program for U6-U8 athletes and our Mentone Combined Event Championship for all U9-U17 athletes. This is a good preparation for everyone who is participating in the State Combined Event championships on the 1. or 2. February and an opportunity to experience combined events for everyone else. Athletes who participate in all 5 events will have their total points tallied and the top 3 finishers in each age group will be awarded medals on our presentation day at the end of the season. Please refer to the program for details.
U6-U8 families: Please arrive at 8:15am for an 8:30am start
U9-U17 families: Please arrive at 9:45am for a 10am start. There are exceptions - please refer to the program.
Duties:
U6 families: Set-up duty. Please arrive at 7:30am and visit the club room to enter your name on the duty sheet.
U10 families: Pack-up duty. Please remember to sign out when we are finished packing up.
For all mid-session duties: Please sign up for the duty at the start of the session, grab a vest and ensure you have your name recorded at the Duty Board so we can count it for Duty Bond refunds.
In order to assist you with planning, the pack-up and setup roster for the season is published on our duty page, which also details all the jobs.
Other info:
Please don’t forget to wear your chest patches - it really speeds up the process at the finish line! Remember to bring hats, sunscreen and drink bottles.
Drinks, snacks and BBQ will be available for purchase.
A reminder: Next week, we will run our Twilight round on Friday 31. January in the evening. There will be no session at Mentone on Saturday 1. February.
