ATTENTION ALL SAUGEEN TRACK AND FIELD CLUB ALUMNI!!

Saugeen Track and Field Club turns 30 this year and we are planning a Reunion on the weekend of July 7,8- Noon to Noon. We are encouraging STFC alumni to join us (Saugeen Track and Field Club) on Facebook where details will be posted and where you can hook up with other Alumni, or just check back here for more details and registration forms. (to be posted in April). 

Tentative reunion activities include;
Saturday: paddling down the Saugeen (or sun and swim time at the Port Elgin beach), games for the next generation of STFC'ers, barbecue dinner, "Blast from the past" Video presentation, campfire and open mike. Sunday morning: continental breakfast, more mingling time. 

Tent camping will be available at Farrell's (1910 Bruce Road 17) for those coming from out of town. If you plan to stay in a local motel/hotel, please go ahead and do your own booking. It's a tourist town, so take that into consideration when making your plans. Information for accommodation can be found on the Saugeen Shores (Port Elgin and Southampton) website. <www.saugeenshores.ca>

It's going to be a laid back event; a chance to just visit old friends and take a trip down memory lane, and hopefully a celebration of everything that is Saugeen Track and Field Club!
Hope you (and your family...we're always recruiting new members!) can join us this summer.

2012 Junior Program

WEATHER

As we head into winter, it's important to remind everyone that practices will be cancelled if the schools are closed during the day. If practice is cancelled for any reason, we will post this information to local/facebook as soon as we can.

If the schools are open, then practice will proceed for those who can safely make it!

If the weather is bad or the roads are icy where you are, then it's simple...don't travel!!

If you want to know what the weather is like in Port Elgin, then check the road reports. Click for one site that we have used in the past.

Coaches are not responsible for any decisions that athletes/parents make
regarding travel! Safety is our number one concern!!

Have a great indoor season!!!
