 Congratulations to all the BHLAC athletes that competed at the Eastern Metro Region Carnival on the weekend. It was a fantastic event. BHLAC performed extremely well and it was great to see our athletes on the podium on a number of occasions. A special thank you to all the parents that supported the event. Our two Team Managers, Phiranna Chuon and Scott Dolman. Thank you and to our Chief Officials and parents that supported the events we were allocated. A BIG thank you to you all. Without parent support these events just don't happen so thank you from all of us at BHLAC! With the season end fast approaching we focus on the last 2 program weeks at Hagenauer Reserve before we finish the season with the State Track & Field Championships at Lakeside on the 11th & 12th March. The next 2 weeks will be the final 2 weeks. This coming Sunday will be Program C and the final week we will finish with Program A. The end of season break up day will be Sunday 2nd April. We will provide more details of this day closer to the time. As a club we can be extremely proud of what we have achieved this season. We have had such wonderful feedback from parents expressing their gratitude to our committee for their tireless work throughout the season. The cycle of a sporting club committee is forever changing. With some changes coming and parents leaving it is time for some new parents to come on board and help continue the great legacy left by parents before them. We are calling for parents of the club that would be interested in joining our committee. Please contact our club president Dean Williams at [email protected] to find out more.  This week - Program CThis week is the final Program C week. Long hurdles. For many that have qualified for State Track & Field this is a really important week to hone your skills before the big finale. We expect a big turnout this week so we're looking forward to seeing you.

Congratulations to all our BHLAC athletes that competed at the State Relay Championships on Saturday at Lakeside. It was a fantastic way to end the Relay program for the season. It seems like ages since we held the Box Hill Relay Day back in November but what that has allowed our teams to do is spend more time together practising and improving as a team. BHLAC had over 25 teams competing on Saturday and we had a number of teams place and win their finals. Congratulations to everyone that took part in the relay program this season. For the ones that didn't participate in the program this year, we hope the fun and enjoyment displayed this season gives you some encouragement to participate next season. We are back at the track this Sunday for the third last Sunday Program of the season. Please check the season calendar later in the blog for the remaining weeks of competition. This week - Program B This week is Program B and is a big program. Full hurdles on the back straight plus loads of field events and sprints on the front. Parent support will be needed. Please click on the link later in the blog to sign up to a duty early. Click on this link to view the Program B timetable 2022/23 Season Calendar With only 3 program weeks to go in the season it is important for all families to take note of the dates that we are at the track and weekends that we are not. Here is a list of the remaining weeks. NO LITTLE ATHS Next to the Day/Date means that we DO NOT HAVE a regular Little Aths program this weekend Sunday 12th February - Program B Sat 18th & Sun 19th February - EMR Track & Field Carnival - NO LITTLE ATHS Sunday 26th February - Program C Sunday 5th March - Program A - Final Program for season Sat 11th & Sun 12th March - State Track & Field - NO LITTLE ATHS Sunday 2nd April - End of Season Awards, Break up & AGM Parent Duty - Sign Up Program Last week we communicated to all families the number of parent duties each family had completed so far this season. Since then we have received a number of emails from families wishing to clarify the number of duties they may have been credited for so far. It is almost impossible to have complete accuracy with this report. For a number of reasons. For example, parents quite often sign up with different names. Sometimes family names are used. Other times maiden names may be. Often parents use their Christian name with no surname. This does make it difficult to collate accurate data as we do not have all the extra family information. It would be greatly appreciated if all families use the same name to sign up to parent duties and use their christian and surnames in the future. We would also ask you to make sure that you check in at the start of the program with the welcomer when completing a duty. If you sign up for a parent duty in the week but do not check in at the program, we assume you have not turned up and subsequently will be marked as a 'no show' for that duty. With 3 program weeks to go there is still plenty of time for parents to complete the minimum of 6 duties for their children to be eligible for an end of season award.
