We have a firm start date: Athletics Wollongong's Wednesday Meets will be returning from November 3rd!
Unfortunately the track will be closed Monday to Friday of next week. Beaton Park have had track maintenance planned for some time but, with the specialist company based in Melbourne, they were unable to complete it during the shutdown. The track will be cleaned, a few areas will undergo minor repairs, and some of the lines will be re-marked. This work has to be completed ahead of some major events that will be happening at Kerryn McCann Athletic Centre this season. (There will be some other welcome improvement works occurring this year as well, but they will not impact track operations).
The November start will also allow our (fully vaccinated) athletes from the Highlands, Kiama and the Shoalhaven to attend, with travel between regional NSW and Greater Sydney for exercise/recreation currently not allowed 'til next month. (And, of course, from December 1st, everyone may attend our meets).
NB - COVID means that there may be a little more to attending then just rocking up, as in the past; but that process is under development at present and may change in the meantime. We'll let you know more closer to the date and once finalised.
