Dear Official/Volunteer,
Around 1,000 participants are expected to compete in the Athletics Program of the 9th Australian Masters Games from 31 October to 8 November 2003 in Canberra. Events include 4 days of track and field competition, a street mile, 8 km cross country, 10km road walk, 5km fun run/walk and half marathon.
A new club, the YMCA Masters Games Athletics Club, has been formed to facilitate the conduct of the Athletics Program. An independent group of experienced Canberra athletes comprising Geoff Sims (Convenor), Neil Boden, David Hobson, Alice Scott, Graeme Small and Michael Thomson have formed the organising committee for the new club.
The success of this event, like previous major athletics carnivals in Canberra, will very much depend on its "army" of officials and volunteers. On the last occasion that the Masters Games were held in Canberra, in 1997, over 300 officials and volunteers successfully conducted the week-long athletics program - 2003 will be no different!!
