PRESENTATION NIGHT, MAY 13
The Box Hill Athletic Club presentation night will be held at the clubrooms on Friday, May 13 from 7:30pm. The evening will begin with a brief annual general meeting, followed by presentations, a guest speaker and supper. This is great opportunity to celebrate the achievements of our athletes over the past 12 months and also a chance for newer members to get to know the club. All members, parents and friends are invited to come.
There will be a $10 cover charge (maximum $20 per family) to cover the costs of the food that will be provided. No need to book, just turn up on the night!
MOVIE NIGHT, MAY 29
As some of you may know, four athletes from Box Hill Athletics Club including Kathryn Brooks (Javelin), Nana Owusu-Afriyie (4x100m), Sarah Billings (800m + 4x400m) and Georgia Hansen (800m) have been selected to represent Australia and compete at the IAAF World U20 Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland in July.
This is an amazing opporunity, however it does come at a cost for travel, accomodation and food etc. This event will be a fundraiser to assist with some of the costs associated with the trip. A light supper will be provided prior to the movie starting up-stairs at the cinema.
NOTE: The definite time of the movie has not yet been announced, more information coming soon!
Movie: Alice Through the Looking Glass (Tim Burton)

NEW FEE STRUCTURE
AV have introduced a new fee structure.
In short, you will pay one fee to join Athletics Victoria and another fee to join the club. You can then pay an XCR fee which gives you free entry to all AV cross country and road events or a Track and Field fee, which gives you entry to shield competition (or you choose the “maxpack” which gives you entry to both XCR and Shield).
There are four options for members in each age group.
Option 1 is recommended for those who plan to run XCR and Shield competition (we hope this includes most of our distance runners).
Option 2 is for those athletes who only compete in summer.
Option 3 is for those who wish to only compete in the cross country and road events and not the summer season.
Option 4 is for athletes who wish to only compete in winter relay events and/or pay an individual entry fee for each event, or those who do not wish to compete in XCR or Shield competition.
Note that you can upgrade your membership at any stage throughout the year.
Open:
Option 1: $390 [$100 (AV fee) + $90 (Club Fee) + $200 (XCR + Shield)]
Option 2: $315 [$100 (AV fee) + $90 (Club Fee) + $125 (Shield)]
Option 3: $315 [$100 (AV fee) + $90 (Club Fee) + $125 (XCR)]
Option 4: $190 [$100 (AV fee) + $90 (Club Fee) + Individual entries (no shield)]
