Week 2 @ BHLAC was a great day. The sun was out and there was a great atmosphere at the track. With sprints on the front straight, hurdles on the back and 800m circular races we definitely had a full program. Parent support once again was high in numbers and that helped with the very smooth running of the day.

It has been extremely pleasing to see so many new members at BHLAC this year. We have over 170 members thus far plus over 50 'come & try' athletes so we are well on our way to achieving a membership level above our previous season which in a Covid restricted year would be an amazing result. 

This last week BHLAC was awarded a huge financial grant of just over $9,000 from the State Government in round 6 of the Community Sport Sun Shade Grant. This is an amazing result for BHLAC and will allow us to purchase a number of new sun shades which we require. The club would not have received the grant or other ones we have recently received if it were not for Dave Ross. 

Dave and his wife Tara (U13 girls AGM) are great supporters of BHLAC and we are extremely thankful for all the work they do to help our club. 
Dave has been responsible for preparing and applying for all our club grant applications. They are not an easy task and are quite time consuming. Sometimes Dave gets next to no time to apply but still makes the time to ensure he gets them done for the club. The BHLAC committee would like to acknowledge Dave for his amazing work in receiving a grant that hundreds
(if not thousands) of sporting clubs applied for.
​Thank you very much Dave!!

This week is program C. Front & back straights again plus 1,500m for many.

Hi BHLAC families. Well we're finally back on the track. It was a fantastic day at Hagenauer Reserve today. We had a great turnout for the first week of the season. It was great to see so many returning athletes, a load of 'come & trys' and even some guests from other Little Athletics Centres. 

Whilst the weather did its best to put us off, it definitely didn't dampen any spirits. It was a typical Melbourne day of all 4 seasons which only added to the resolve of all  the kids and parents involved. 

A special thank you goes out to all the BHLAC community for making the first week a real success. We had over 140 athletes there today which was an exceptional start to the season. Over 45 Come & try athletes which we hope to have join over the coming weeks. In a season that has started late, that is a brilliant start. 

We had a record result this week with the parent duty SignUp roster filling up by Tuesday night. There is no doubt the program runs much better when we have parents secure in roles prior to the day. Thank you to all the parents for stepping up and getting in early, This week is Program B, the largest of the three. 
Front straight sprints, back straight hurdles and a load of field events so the SignUp roster will be larger. It would be great to get the same response early in the week. Click on the link to see Program B for next week

Uniforms
Uniforms will be available to purchase this Sunday 14th November at our centre meet.

Parent Support Program
The SignUp parents support program once again will be used to allow parents to nominate for a parent duty. Each family must complete at least 6 duties per season to allow their children to qualify for an end of season award.  

Note:
- There will be no Age Group Assistant roles offered this season.
- You will be required to choose a role as there are to be no spectators at this stage in the venue 
- Duties are offered on a “first in, first served” basis, and you are required to stay for the duration of the shift. 
- Some duties have been split from 1:30 - 3pm and then a change over from 3pm - 4:30pm. This will give parents the flexibility to be able to see their children participate whilst still playing a role on the day.

The more parents that actively support the program, the easier and more smoothly the event day runs. Please support the club and most of all our children and sign up to a weekly parent duty early.
