 The weather gods shone down on Hagenauer Reserve last Sunday. Whilst the entire state wasl almost washed out on Saturday, we were very fortunate to have a full afternoon of sunshine and athletics. There have been lots of comments this season about the way we go about our program. It's fun, relaxed and full of atmosphere. However it is really the positive attitude and commitment from everyone involved that has made the program so enjoyable. Thank you to all the parents for committing to a big duty roster. Without you we just would not get it done. Seeing all the smiling faces has well been worth it! This week coming we see our program head to our first Friday night twilight event. The first in a few years. Whilst we expect the turnout to be reduced due to the long weekend, we still will provide an action packed program for everyone attending. Please note the start time is 5pm sharp for the On Track U6/U7 athletes and the remaining athletes will commence at 5:30pm. We will have a BBQ available for anyone wishing to purchase a quick dinner and because it is also Halloween on Monday we would encourage anyone to come in their best Halloween outfit if you like. Twilight Program A With the increase of member numbers this season Program A has had to expand. Please take note of the timetable changes for your age group. On Track U6/7's will start at 5pm sharp. The rest will start from 5:30pm.

There is no doubt the last few weeks have run so smoothly because our parent cohort has provided the assistance needed. Thank you. This week we are on Friday night which is a little trickier. With the reduction in attendance because of the Melbourne Cup Long Weekend we traditionally have run a little lean. If you are planning to come we'd greatly appreciate your support. Thank you!
