The athletics season begins October 26th 2012

Officials needed

We have been getting a larger group of athletes wanting to compete this season and this can mean some delay to activities. So with this increased participation more committed officials are needed who can be around to help Rod each week to make the program run smoothly.

One way make the program run smoothly will be to split the field events into two groups so that one group of 9-10 people complete one discipline while the second group does the other discipline. Then later on in the programme they can swap over. Events will be starting at 6.30 pm sharp so that the programme can run to time.

Age and gender graded system

Picture
Now you might think, it is pretty tough, if you are a 60 year-old competing against a younger athlete.

Well, the good news is that Calliope caters for you.
We have a number of events that are age and gender relative.

You earn a percentage based on your age in years and fractions of years. Also if it is a mixed event, gender is also taken into account.

Read more about the system here   and if you want to do some serious calculations based on your age and gender, here is the website for you.
