Welcome to Season 2023/24 – Our track and field season will start tomorrow 9 September 2023.
A few quick points for everyone.
As it is the first week of the season the committee will be busy setting up. Please be patient while we are setting up. Parents if you are early please help with the setup – there is a lot to do and we would appreciate the help.
Returning Athletes
If you are wanting to compete tomorrow you must have been registered by Wednesday 6 September – if your registered after this date you will not be able to compete this week as we will not have name patches ready for you.
We will not be handing out temporary patches to returning athletes if you registered after Wednesday. You will have to wait to week 2 (16 September) to start.
If you are a returning member you can still renew your registration and start on 16th September – https://memberdesq.sportstg.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=login&OrgID=1370
