Our first term of the inaugural Saturday morning schools series wrapped up on Saturday with a family relay event at Centennial Park in lovely sunshine.
Series co-ordinator Barbara Hill set six short courses (ranging from 500m to 1.5km) and each pair aimed to complete all six between them.
It was great see so many parents participating with their children. Barbara employed ONSW Marketing Officer Ian Jessup as a roving control - kids who caught Ian (which wasn't too hard!) took a sticker off his shirt to claim an entry in the lucky dip at the end of proceedings.
Some photos of the event are on Facebook.
Average attendances were around the 40-50 mark which is very encouraging.
The Term 1, 2014 series is just about locked in and will feature many new venues. It also looks like we have another school coming on board.
ONSW extends a huge thank you to Barbara, Daniel Hill and SI guru Ron Pallas for a smooth and successful introduction of this new series; and to the other helpers who chipped in when needed.
Please tell your schools about this series as we try to grow the sport at grassroots level.
