Track Update
We will have an update on the track redevelopment soon. We have been made aware – at the recent council meeting just prior to Christmas, council approved the project and contracts have been sent out. We are waiting on formal advice from council for a start date and how this will impact our season. Please keep an eye on social media and website.

Knox LAC would like to wish all our families and athletes a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

If you are traveling over the holidays please travel safely and we look forward to seeing you all in January.

The committee has been receiving enquiries regarding the Knox Open Day and whether it will be rescheduled.

We thank every one for their support and understanding during what was a difficult time for our centre.

With our current calendar and our track works likely to begin in late February – We do not have a weekend available to reschedule our open day and it will not go ahead for this season.

We are currently working with LAVic and Gameday to refund all athlete entry fees. We thank you for your understanding and patience as we work through the refund process.

We are sorry for the late notice – we have been advised by Coach Dave that he is unavailable for training tonight due an unforeseen issue.

Shotput training with Coach Dave will not go ahead tonight.

Training will resume next week as scheduled.

The Executive Committee has made a change to the calendar for Sunday 17th December 2023.

Our scheduled event on Sunday was to be our Multi-event Program, BBQ and Christmas Break Up.

State Relays are on this Saturday and many of our athletes will be involved. With Relays running through until after 7.30pm, and many of our committee and families at relays all day, the committee felt that an easier program rather than a full multi event program would be better.

Sunday has been changed to Program A.

We will still be running a Christmas Break up BBQ and Santa might just turn up as well.

We are looking to reschedule the Multi-event program when we return after Christmas Break.
