There will be a Parent Meeting on Tuesday, April 29, just after 6pm at the track. We will meet in front of Glenwood, and can go under the overhang there if it is raining, or move inside Glenwood. We will be introducing you to the Meet Manger and Club executive, as well as having some discussions and information sharing about our meet, club clothing, how to support your athletes at meets, etc. We will also give you a 5 minute talk about officiating High Jump, which our club is responsible for at all Island Meets and therefore we all need to help with. At the end of the meeting I hope to introduce you to the club coaches who have been spending a lot of time with your child/ren. Please mark your calendar and try to attend this meeting! Thanks.

Entries and payment to Dogwood Meet are due in at the end of the practice on Thursday.

The Club raffle will be on May 8, which is the Thursday following our meet, so if you could get your tickets stubs and payment in soon, that will be helpful. Thanks.

Check our club website for regular updates on information. New items are added on a regular basis. Karrine has done a great job of fixing up the site…check out the photos! www.avtrackclub.com

Our meet is quickly approaching. Some of the jobs are still available:

  • Making up the event boxes from the list available, to be done during practices on Tuesday and Thursday this week…could have 2-4 people working on this to make it easy.
  • More men needed for setup 7pm Friday evening.
  • More needed for cleanup at the end of the meet on Saturday
  • More needed for setup 8am Sunday morning
  • Medical person (Doctor, nurse, first aid person) for Saturday until mid-afternoon.
  • Concession Grill: 1-2 people for lunchtime Saturday and Sunday: 11:30 to 1:30
  • Somebody to sleep overnight at the track in a trailer or in the Track Room on Friday and Saturday nights. (we leave some things out and have to make sure nobody takes off with them)

We have over 200 teens coming to our meet from various schools over mid and northern Vancouver Island, and will be attempting to qualify for the Island High School Meet. It will be a very busy meet, so thank you for helping out wherever possible to make our meet a success. Some good, warm weather would certainly be an asset!

Personal Best Ribbons from the Peninsula meet will be available in the Track Room this week for those who attended that meet.

Sheila is selling club clothing and taking orders for AVTC track suits. See her at practice!

See you Tuesday at the Parent Meeting!
