Little Athletics for the past 4 years and it was a true honor to step up and be involved with the

everyday operations of the club during this season. As this club runs successfully through the

commitment of our athletes’ parents and extended family members, I encourage any family

member of an athlete to join the committee to further support the success of the club.

Equipment Manager and the list could just go on however they have been the ongoing faces and

voices behind Sunbury Little Athletics Club, so to David and Robyn Thies thank you to you both for

all you have done for the Sunbury Little Athletics club over the last 10 seasons, you have both

been just so amazing through your ongoing commitment to the Club.

Also a huge thank you to all the parent helpers, that have really stepped up in this past year.

Without everyone’s dedication this year we would not have been able to run as successfully.

We have a lot of sponsors this year and would like to thank them very much for their financial

contributions or Goods and Services. Some of our major sponsors are:

Sunbury Bowls Club, Sunbury Sand and Soil,

CBF Appliances, Bumble Beanz, Simply Orthodontics, Hi Quality Group,

Intersport, Bakers Delight, Subway and Whitehorn’s Gourmet Butchery

Please support our Sponsors if you can as they help keep our fees down!

This season when have had 183 athletes Participate. The year started with Cross Country season

in which we hosted 3 events, one of them being our Open Day. We had around 140 athletes attend

from around Victoria. From Sunbury we had around 20 athletes compete in the Cross Country

Season.


of 15

The summer season started in October. We then had Region Multi held here at Sunbury which

was a great pleasure to host where we had 43 Sunbury athletes compete.

We then moved onto Region Relays with 25 teams entered. It was a huge effort to put those teams

together so a big thank you to Greg Denner.

Our Christmas Family Fun Day was a great day with prices and many fun events that the children

really enjoyed including elf throwing and Frisbee flying.

We had 2 athletes compete at State Multi.

A few weeks later we had Region Track and Field where we had 14 athletes compete. From the

14 athletes we had 8 athletes qualify to State Track & Field.

Again thank you to our Team Manager Greg Denner for making these days so successful and to

Brooke Rennie and Robyn Thies for the additional support during these days.

Overall it has been a fantastic year for athletes with many PB’s being achieved and records

broken. In particular the record broken by Abbey McDonald in Shot Put was 40 years held before

broken.

As we now entre our cross country season starting in April/May I encourage you all to keep a close

eye on facebook, team app and our website for dates and details.

As the 2018/19 season comes to a close I reflect on the achievements of our athletes and the

sportsmanship across the season and with this we close another fantastic season and prepare

ourselves for another fantastic season in 2019/20.

Our Donation this year to the Royal Childrens Hospital Appeal is $1076.80!!! This is made up from

the Relaython, End of year raffle and Sunbury Little Aths matching dollar for dollar

SECRETARYS REPORT

My name is Kylie Harker and I have been the Sunbury Little Athletics Secretary for the Season

2018/2019, my first season in the position.

I would like to thank all the members of the current committee, your enthusiasm and invaluable

help throughout the season has made it a great year.

Again this season we have had a number of Centre records broken for the next generation of

athletes to chase and of course all the PB’s by the athletes on a weekly basis.

Congratulations to those athletes who have competed in the State Multi, Region Relays and

Region & State Track and Field events this season.

I would like to thank all our sponsors this year Sunbury Bowling Club, Bumble Benz, Intersport

Butcher & Simply Orthodontics.

To all the other local businesses that donated goods for our end of season raffles, I thank you all

for your contribution in making them a great success.

Finally to all the little Athletes, it has been great to witness you all achieve your best each week,

see your smiles and receive your high fives. You all make being a SLAC volunteer a meaningful

and worthwhile experience. I would encourage other members to join the committee or become an

official for competition days, to ensure the success of this great club for years to come.

Regards

Kylie Harker

REGISTRARS REPORT

My name is Deborah Watson and I have been the Registrar for the 2018/19 season. This was my

first season as Registrar and I have enjoyed the diversity of the role.

This season seems to have gone very fast. We had 184 children registered this season compared

to 190 and 208 in previous years. While most of those 184 registered early on in the season, we

have had some register within the last few weeks as well.

I would like to extend a huge thank you to the committee, parent helpers and volunteers who assist

in the running of events, I understand there are times when you miss your child(ren) compete at

events in order to assist the club and this is greatly appreciated. Sunbury Little Athletics is a

volunteer run club and we have a wonderful culture of fairness, support and many dedicated

volunteers.

This has been my first season as registrar although I have held many positions at the club since

2011 when my son commenced under 6s. I thoroughly enjoy being more involved within the club

and encourage all parents to take an active role in the club.

I would like to thank all committee members for their hard work and dedication this season, a

special mention goes to Dave and Robyn who assisted me when required to my own family who

keep me updated with their results as they come by the discus cage.

I wish everyone a safe and happy “off season” and look forward to seeing the regular (and

hopefully some new faces) during the cross-country season.

Registrar 2018/19

The largest expense after the canteen was equipment and maintenance, with new items such as

scissor mats, updated PA system, lights for the sheds and general equipment repairs making up

TEAM MANAGERS REPORT

The role of the Centre Team Manager is to encourage athlete participation in Regional and State

events. To act as the main contact with Northern Metro Region and Little Athletics Victoria

Officials with team entries and to represent Sunbury by organising the athletes at these events and

the parents that are required to officiate.

The Team Manager is required to finalise athlete entries prior to the events as well as organise a

parent roster as requested by Northern Metro Region. This season I would like to thank Robyn and

David Thies for their organisational skills as well as set up and packing up at Regional events. The

parent helpers also provided great support at these Regional events.

The Region Relays were first up, and although the participation numbers were down, the

performances were not. Great times were achieved by all teams, finals made and medals were

won.

Regional Multi event was run at Sunbury and a lot of work was needed to get the track up to

standard. David Thies again worked tirelessly to make this happen. There were plenty of personal

best performances by the Sunbury athletes and even medals won.

State Relays we had four teams qualify. Due to illness and injury, we had to withdraw these teams

on the day.

Region & State Track and Field, again we had low numbers entered but performances from young

to experienced athletes saw personal bests, finals and medals.

Thank you to all the parents that offered their help and support and fulfilled our Centre Duties at

the numerous events. These days would not run without you, and your children would not get to

experience competing against other athletes from other centres.

Congratulations everyone on a successful season.

Greg Denner

Team Manager
