2017/2018 Season
Good news everyone, LAQ has confirmed our relocation to West Moreton Anglican College can proceed and we are now working on finalising the details. Apologies that it will be a short time longer while we work out the formal details, but we will be starting up shortly for the 2017/18 season.
Our challenge of course is the timing since this has occurred when the school holidays have started, and there are a number of people from WMAC and from Colleges who are most likely enjoying the break already. Please have a bit more patience for another week or so and we're hoping we can get things moving to start shortly after the school holidays finish, which is our normal start time anyway.
We have posted this message to Facebook and will send an email out to all members as soon as we have worked out specifics.
Hope to see you all back for the 2017/18 season.

Five of our Colleges Little Athletics Centre athletes represented us proudly at the Ipswich Twighlight Carnival on 21st January. Alana Plummer U13G, Mason Plummer U10B, Oliver Deane U9B, Caleb McLennan & Lennox Plummer U7B braved the particularly unkind weather conditions and strong competition giving their very best in each event. Special mention goes to Caleb who came second in U7 Long Jump. Well done athletes! |
