Hi <<First Name>>


Less than one week until the start of the 2018 Athletics season!

It's fair to say, I think we're all very excited to be competing and watching athletics in Christchurch at the new stadium this weekend at Nga Puna Wai. It's been 7 long years after all, but now we're very fortunate to have the the best facility in the country.

So, on Saturday the program starts at 1:30pm with the Pole Vault, but the running races start at 2pm with the 60m. There will be an opening ceremony at 1:15pm.

We are duty club on Saturday, so that means helping to get field and track event equipment out and put away. Please do your part to help!

Note the new competition fees:

Seniors & Masters 30-64 = $10.00
Under age & Masters 65+ = $8.00


The seasons program is also available.

Don't forget to Register for the season and order your club uniform and pay the COBU track fees.

Also, a reminder if you would like to order the new club long sleeve t-shirt.



 

Rhythm & Jumps

Rhythm & Jumps 2 will be on Friday 2 November. For those of you who missed it last year, we have invited the top high jumpers and long jumpers from all over New Zealand to come to Christchurch and Jump to songs they have selected to pump them up for some great performances. Spectators can get up close and personal with athletes unlike in regular track meets, so BYO chair and come see the action up close!

Admission is a gold coin donation. Competition starts at 5:15pm with long jump followed by high jump.

On the following Sunday morning after the interclub competition the athletes will be holding a skills and drills clinic for young athletes aged 10-14 in the morning, and a skills and drills clinic for athletes aged 15+ in the afternoon.

Contact Athletics NZ Leads Jump Coach Terry Lomax for further info regarding the clinics (terry@athletics.org.nz).
