 NRCLAC had a very successful 2020 Region 5 Championships at Narrabeen last weekend, following the postponement of the carnival from the week before due to flooding.
We were well represented by 123 athletes - a record for the club (an increase from 118 last year), competing in 328 events. We had some great results over the two days. Thank you for giving it your best and doing it with a smile. Our medal tally finished at 13 Gold, 11 Silver, and 7 Bronze:
Congratulations to our Junior Boys' Relay team (Oliver, Alexander, Benji, and Sammy) winning the silver. Thank you to Annika for coaching the relays. Thank you to the parents who did their helper duties. Thank you to the NRCLAC Officials who helped run the carnival. It couldn't happen without your contributions:
And most of all, thank you to NRCLAC Team Managers, Janet and Carwyn. There's so much work that goes into organising parent duties, checking uniforms, marshalling during the day, being the first to arrive and the last to leave. Thank you. Legends ; ) Good luck to the NRCLAC athletes who have qualified to the LANSW State Track and Field Championships in March at SOPAC. There are photos available from a commercial photographer HERE. Full carnival results are HERE.

Dear NRCLAC Family & Friends,
Little Athletics NSW has published a statement regarding coronavirus that I'm (mostly) copying and pasting here... ***************************** Little Athletics NSW is committed to the health and wellbeing of all its members, athletes, volunteers and spectators. Over the last few days several NSW and Australian health department related alerts have been issued in relation to the novel coronavirus. The NSW Health Department report that there have been a small number of cases of transmission from person to person occurring outside of mainland China. However, all confirmed cases in NSW were infected with the virus whilst overseas. The NSW Health Department suggest that the best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to the virus. This can be done by following the everyday preventive actions for protecting against respiratory infections:
In addition, the NSW Government has requested that children who have visited China not attend school or childcare services until 14 days have lapsed from their date of departure. Although the risk is very low, the NSW Government has taken this step as an additional precautionary measure. As such, NRCLAC have decided it is reasonable to apply the same, 14 day, incubation period for any of our members returning from China during this time as a precautionary measure. So to be clear, IF YOU HAVE VISITED CHINA RECENTLY, PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND NRCLAC CLUB TRAINING OR COMPETITION WITHIN 14 DAYS OF DEPARTING CHINA. As mentioned previously, while the risk is very low, this is an additional precautionary measure that may assist in reducing the likelihood of infection for you and those at your club. Further information and updates are available via NSW Health website; Factsheet and Frequently Asked Questions Kind regards, Fergus President NRCLAC  The 2019 Northern Metropolitan Zone Championships have been run and won.
The final points tally for the weekend, was:
NRCLAC were well represented by 188 athletes competing in 695 events and 4 relays. We had some great results over the two days. Thank you for giving it your best and doing it with a smile. Congratulations to our relay teams:
Watching the relays on Sunday afternoon is always a highlight of the weekend, and underlines the team spirit that Championships are based on. Thank you to Annika for coaching them. Good luck to the boys' teams for Regional Championships. Congratulations to our U7 medal winners: GOLD:
SILVER:
BRONZE:
A special thank you to our Multi-Class athletes who were able to compete at Zone in three events this year. MC Long Jump was added to Discus and 100M, and it was great that NRCLAC had the majority of the athletes again. Thank you to the parents and helpers for officiating the MC events. It was well received, and a very proud moment for the club. Hopefully we can do it again next season with more events and even more athletes. A special mention to Alex Shahla for breaking the Zone record in the U17 Boys Shot Put with a throw of 15.59m. Great work Alex! Another highlight was the U17's lap of honour. Hopefully they leave Little Athletics with many great memories and even greater friendships. Thank you to the parents who did their helper duties. I know your children appreciate seeing you make a contribution. Thank you to the NRCLAC Officials who helped run the carnival. It couldn't happen without your contributions:
Special mention to golden tonsils Garry on the PA. Great job all weekend. Thank you to Leo and Amanda for taking photos. Thank you to Committee members and families, who helped set up and pack up our area. We had the best home base and looked the most organised. And most of all, thank you to NRCLAC Team Managers, Annika, Carwyn, and Janet. There's so much work that goes into organising nominations, selecting the team, organising parent duties, checking uniforms, marshalling during the day, being the first to arrive and the last to leave. Thank you. Legends ; ) King regards, Fergus NRCLAC President  On Saturday November 2nd, NRCLAC collected donations from our members, totalling $165.30. The Club has matched these donations to raise a total of $331.60 for The Smith Family...
The Smith Family is a national, independent children's charity helping disadvantaged Australians to get the most out of their education, so they can create better futures for themselves. One in six Australian children and young people living in poverty need our support to make the most of their education. The Smith Family delivers Learning for Life programs across 94 Australian communities, often out of the local school. The communities have been identified as having higher concentrations of families living in economic disadvantage and are across all Australian states and territories. As Australia’s largest national education-oriented charity, The Smith Family support disadvantaged Australian children to participate fully in their education, giving them the best chance at breaking the cycle of disadvantage. Their learning support and mentoring programs help children in need to fit in at school, keep up with their peers, and build aspirations for a better future for themselves. Investing in the education of a disadvantaged child delivers long-term positive benefits for them, their family and potentially generations to come.  UPCOMING LOCAL COURSE - September 22nd at Barton Park (FLYER HERE)
MORE INFO AND REGISTRATION HERE. NRCLAC WILL PAY FOR THE COURSE FOR OUR AGE MANAGERS AND ANYONE WHO IS PREPARED TO HELP WITH SOME COACHING AT THURSDAY TRAININGS. The Introduction to Coaching Course (ITCC) is designed to help participants become better placed to assist children to perform basic athletics skills. The ITCC is a practical coaching course designed for Little Athletics and conducted on behalf of Little Athletics Australia. It covers how to teach basic working models for each event on the Little Athletics program. Participants will be shown event-specific skills, drills, games and activities relevant to the target age group. Who is the course for? The course is great for parents, school teachers and other interested people who want to know a little more about the skills of the sport so that they may help to coach children of primary school age, assist at Little Athletics centres or prepare students for a school athletics carnival. This course is suitable for:

It was a wet and heavy weekend with some Sunday events cancelled. It was great to still see NRCLAC offering plenty of smiling faces, a good number of medals, and so many PBs. I feel like we spent the weekend, saying "you can't do any better than that!". Congratulations everyone!
Fantastic to see a strong NRCLAC cheer squad of families staying and supporting team mates, after their own events were completed. It's this friendship and support that makes us a great club. Thank you to the parent helpers who stepped up to do our allocated duties: Tracy, Sankaran, Mick, Isaac, Ravi, Joe, David, Natalie, Belinda and Adam. You're the best! Thank you to Team Manager, Carwyn. A tough weekend in the wet. Well done mate : ) We look forward to seeing everyone at Presentation Day, this Sunday March 24th at Murray Farm PS (*NB: New venue).
