All parents of Little Athletes are required to help at the Centre by performing duty. Without enough parents helping out, the kids don't get to compete!
Each Fairpark family is rostered on for duty every 3rd week. There are plenty of varied activities that you can do to ensure the program is able to run, from 'raking the pit', ticket writing, timing a race, to serving in the canteen when it's our club's turn.
When it's your week for duty, sign in with the centre's Chief of Officials near the canteen, remembering to mention that you are from Fairpark. The earlier you sign in, the better your chances of getting to pick your preferred duty. Signing in 15 minutes before the start of the program allows the events to start on time, and the kids can (should!) do a warm-up before their first event.
On optional competition days (entry forms required) like Region and State events, Knox Open Twilight and Knox Championship Day, a condition of entry is that ALL parents will be rostered on to duty. Regretfully, failure to report in and carry out duty could result in the withdrawal of athletes from events.
Each club at Knox provides Chief Officials to look after different events/areas. From season 2010/11 we are looking after Discus 2.
Our "chiefs" (on rotation) are: Brian Power, Michael and Linda Easton, Brian Spurrell, with Stephen Hough providing relief if required. Talk to one of them if you are interested in becoming a Knox Chief Official.
