Duty Roster For Knox Families

For all the Knox LAC families attending open day, the parent duty roster has been released, and can now be downloaded below. Please note your duty and time.
As the duty roster is set, there will be little chance of changing it.

Please note: Parent duty at Open Day is compulsory. A reminder that all Knox parents agreed to the condition of undertaking duty when registering.
Note: Knox LAC does enforce the following policy:
If you do not turn up for the duty assigned to you, or you do not complete your duty as required, your child will be scratched from all their events and will take no further part.
If you cannot do the duty assigned to you, you are responsible for finding another person/family to do that assigned duty, and advise the Duty Manager at track without delay of the change.
If you scratch your child between now and Saturday you are still required to turn up for duty. 

Congratulations to all Knox Little Athletes on a fantastic result at Ringwood today:

Special thankyou to our Coaches and Team Manager for bringing it all together.

And thankyou to Ringwood LAC for hosting.
