To run meets and race nights the club needs qualified officials (Timekeepers, IOTs, Starters, etc). At present we are relying on a very small number of club members to fill these roles. We need your help to grow this pool of officials. Please help the club by volunteering to train as an official - none of the training is too hard (it generally just takes a little practice). Please contact Vicki to arrange a time to commence training.
