Canterbury

We are SO excited to to announce that we have received Athletics NSW affiliation, which means we can now welcome athletes of all ages! (YES – parents too!)

To recognise the expansion, Canterbury Little Athletics Centre will become Canterbury Athletics Club over the year ahead.

What does this mean for our Little Athletes?

If you are only interested in Little Athletics NSW competitions and registration, this will bring no change to your membership. We will continue to deliver our Little Athletics program as we always have, but our dual aged athletes (ages 10 and above) will now have the opportunity to register as a ‘senior’ member with Canterbury, instead of needing to register with another Athletics NSW affiliated club.

This result has been over two years in the making, with it ultimately increasing competition opportunities for members, as well as opening opportunities for athletes aged 18 and above to participate in athletics locally, at whichever level they choose.

The transition will be gradual and updates specific to our senior athletes will be published via Team App, Facebook and on our website.

A special thank you to our President Amy Winters who has worked tirelessly behind the scenes over the last 2 years to get this across the line.

Committee Roles:

Canterbury Little Athletics Centre is run by a volunteer committee who are elected at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Without our Committee members, our kids wouldn’t
have a local club to participate with and for this, we say thanks to you all for your time, enthusiasm and efforts to deliver a positive experience for our families.

All interested members are invited and welcome to nominate for a role on the Committee or as an Age Manager (who are automatically part of the Committee). Nominations will close Saturday, 28 May – the day prior to the AGM.

We would love to see some new faces come on board as General Committee members (not allocated to specific areas). This is a great way to get involved in the Committee for the first time, ‘dip your toe’ and familiarise yourself with our activities and jump in and help where you can.

There are exciting plans ahead for our club – but these things don’t happen without your engagement, enthusiasm and time. You can help a little, or a lot – it’s all valued and
appreciated.

Committee Nomination Forms can be found here: https://clac.org.au/documents/

If you’d like to have a chat about any of the positions, or to talk through how you may be able to contribute to the club in another way, please don’t hesitate to contact Amy Winters (CLAC President) at president@clac.org.au or Melissa Veitch (CLAC Secretary) secretary@clac.org.au
