Just a reminder that parents of registered athletes will be required to undertake duty at the Regional Track and Field Championships at Corio in February on one of the two days of competition. If a parent is unwillingly to do duty, their child will be unable to compete on the day.
A duty roster will put together based on the events the athlete has registered for and the relevant day of competition for those events.
The duty roster will be available at the beginning of competition in January 2012.

 The timetable for the State Track and Field Championships is available for viewing on the LAVIC website at: http://www.lavic.com.au

This will give you a ‘rough’ guide as to which events are held on which days at the Regional Event. The timetable for the Regional Track and Field will not be available until late January.
