Committee Vacancy

Clarence Little Athletics Centre need a parent to join the Committee and take on the role of Records & Ranking Officer. Without this role being filled, athletes will not recieve tickets, badges or have the opportunity to enter State Individual Championships, so it is absolutely crucial! Please contact a committee member if you can help!
