thanks.
I really wish I was still based in melbourne sometimes. I’m missing the competition… 
Isn’t there a Master’s venue nearby somewhere??
nope. there’s nothing nearby anywhere. they don’t have a regular masters club scene here like they do in melbourne. you basically just turn up for the big meets, as far as I can tell.
athletics in melbourne is much more developed and better organised than in sydney. can you believe I wanted to enter a pro meet here last season and it was cancelled due to lack of numbers! there’s no way that would ever happen with the VAL…
I guess nothing much has changed up there then! i lived in Sydney in the early 80’s and
strangely when it comes to sport, they don’t
get into anything!
Melbourne would be the most sports mad city in the world though.
We resemble that comment John !!!

of my teeth problems over the last few
days.
Illawong and Bankstown athletics clubs are running weekly competitions (FAT timing in Illawong) in summer. Illawong also has a weekly winter series.
thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!
I called the president of the illawong club and it seems to be just what I was looking for. next saturday they are starting up a winter T&F program and I’ll be heading along to check it out. it’s a bit of a drive to get there, but that’s no big deal. it’s no further than I used to drive to and from work… 
Just make sure you check the weather forecast for wind directions before you go. The track is very exposed, so there’s not much point in racing there if the wind is blowing in the wrong direction. The direction of the home straight is NNE.
