EMLAC over the past few seasons has been toying with the idea of having a carnival/open day. We are pleased to announce that we will be running our first ever carnival this season on January 21, 2023.
This is a big and exciting step forward for our centre that we are very excited about. However it is is going to take a lot of work and a lot of help from all our members to be able to run this event successfully.
WHAT IS A CARNIVAL/OPEN DAY?
An open day is a sanctioned competition that centres can run and provide a high level of competition for athletes from all over the state. Any Little Athletics Australia registered member can enter and compete on the day.
All events are offered and we have officials and chief officials stationed at each event for the duration of the day.
It is a great way to include athletes and their families from all around as well as giving the athletes a chance to compete with other athletes from other centers.
Medals are awarded on the day for the top three placings.
WHAT WE NEED FROM OUR MEMBERS
This is a full day carnival and we will be requiring all hands on deck from our members parents and guardians. This is not an option but rather a requirement. Many hands make light work and we can not run this event on our own.
This event will bring many people from all over the state to our border towns for the weekend and also bring in some income for our centre and our community.
We are looking for willing parents/guardians who would like to join the Carnival Committee to help organise, plan and run this event with us. If you are willing and have ideas and want to help, please email us at echucamoama@lavic.com.au with your expression of interest.
