FINAL CLUB NIGHT CANCELLED TONIGHT AND PRIZEGIVING DATES
It is with deepest regret that we are going to have to cancel our final club night of the season :(
The weather is here to stay and we need to keep our athletes safe and warm. For our senior club members, we will be in touch with potential alternatives for the final events if we can run them.

We would like to say a massive THANK YOU to all of our athletes and their whanau for their brilliant efforts throughout the athletics season. Your smiles, determination and willingness to grow yourself and have some fun has been amazing.

We would also like to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU to our wonderful Taitua Rangers, parents and committee who have helped out running events, setting up stations and providing a great environment for our athletes over the season. Without you we could not do this!!!!

We would like to celebrate and recognize the efforts all of our athletes at our annual END OF SEASON PRIZE GIVING.
This will be held on:
Sunday 19th April at the Glenview Primary School Hall.
2pm - Mini Club Prize Giving

Thank you all once again.

Warmest regards,
The Hinemoa Athletics Committee

WEATHER WATCH FOR FINAL CLUB NIGHT TOMORROW...
You may be aware the weather is not looking good for our final club night tomorrow night. As we still have senior club Champs events to finish and some fun games planned, we will be watching what is happening with the weather as the day unfolds. At this stage our plan is still to run tomorrow night, however we will post an update between 1-2pm based on the weather that has come through. All cancelations will be posted on this page so please keep a watch.

Crossing all fingers and toes, and praying to the weather gods.
