We are into our last few weeks to buy hoodies & long sleeve tops for winter/ singlets for cross country. Access to this will be limited in the offseason.

The raffle draw is nearly here so make sure you are in it. This is our major fundraiser and we need your support. Please buy a ticket, two, 10 or a book to support the club. The prizes are all brilliant.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday from 9am, parents a reminder to be mindful of the car park especially at the end of a session when everyone is packing up… the car park is a busy place and we would appreciate you keeping an eye on your kids at this point to make sure they are safe too.

Regards,

SLAC Committee
