It was great to see so many kids at Newtown Park to meet Nick and join in with the club day. The weather couldn’t have been better in the end (the seniors didn’t get that luxury in the afternoon as it turned to custard) so we were very lucky.

While our normal clubday format of running events in age bands proved not to have been the ideal way to run the events given the numbers that were there, feedback was positive. Please thank your members for attending and bearing with our flexible timing and order of events. There are also some great photo’s from the morning on Rowan Grieg’s website which your members might also be interested in:

There’s a fantastic opportunity this Saturday 25 October for your kids to meet Nick Willis at Newtown Park.

The Olympic, Karori, Onslow and Wellington junior athletics clubs have been invited to a mini interclub.

Nick Willis will be there, he will be signing autographs for the kids taking part.

We’d love to have as many Olympic club athletes there as possible. It’s a good chance to see what the interclubs are all about. So come along and wear your t-shirt or singlet with your age flash safety pinned to the front of your top.

Age Flashes and T-shirts For anyone who registered by email or post you can pick up your age flashes and t-shirts on the first Monday club night on 3 November. If you need an age flash for this weekend email jo@kellysports.co.nz and she will bring these along with her.
