📣 WE STILL NEED AGE MANAGERS!

Thank you to everyone who has already put their hand up to be an Age Manager for the upcoming season. We really appreciate your support!

We are still looking for Age Managers for the following age groups:

5 Years
6 Years
10 Years
12 Years
13 Years
14 Years & Above

Age Managers are such an important part of our club nights, helping athletes move between events, recording results and marking the roll. You’ll also have committee members there to support you along the way.

It’s a great way to be involved, stay with your child throughout the night and cheer on all our athletes.

If you can help with one of these age groups, please comment below or send us a message. ❤️💙

We can’t run our club nights without our wonderful volunteers!

📣 AGE MANAGERS NEEDED FOR THE 2026/27 SEASON

With our new athletics season just around the corner, we’re looking for Age Managers to help our club nights run smoothly.

Age Managers play an important role each Monday night, helping to:

* Move athletes between events
* Record results
* Mark the roll
* Encourage and support our athletes along the way

You don’t need to be an athletics expert! Our committee members will be there to support you at each event.

It’s also a great way to be involved, follow your child around to their events and cheer them and their friends on.

We need an Age Manager for each age group. Without Age Managers, club nights simply can’t run.

If you’re interested in helping out this season, please send us a message or comment below and we’ll be in touch with more information.

We’d love to have you as part of the team! ❤️💙
