Region this year will be held at Narrabeen, Feb 18-19.

As per zone official and helpers will need to fill out a new 'Working with Children Declaration' form when they are assisting at region.

Go to https://check.kids.nsw.gov.au/volunteer-declaration.php, input your details, print out the form and bring it along to zone. It may be a good idea to photocopy this as you will have to do the same thing at any subsequent championships!

Below is a link to a file containing all Winston Hills Region qualifiers, which has been sorted by age group. Please review the list closely. If any athlete is NOT able to attend Region, then please contact Simon Nicola, our Championships Officer ASAP, on 0414-855-524 or at championship@whlac.org.au so we can arrange for the next athlete eligible to participate at Region in their place.

Another successful Zone carnival was completed in the last weekend in January at AH Whaling Reserve, Roxborough Park Rd, Baulkham Hills.

Well done to our athletes that gave it their all over the weekend. You did us all proud with your efforts, attitude and spirit. Of our 203 athletes that competed at zone we have 95 progressing to regional at Narrabeen on Feb, 18-19.

While unable to progress to zone, our Under 7 athletes performed extremely well with the girls achieving 3 Gold and 3 Silver medals, while the boys achieved 5 Gold, 1 Silver and 2 bronzed.

A big thank you to all parents, ex-athletes, helpers and officials who again played their role in making the carnival a well run and successful weekend.

Imagine the pleasure it gives to a child when mum and dad are able to actively participate in their sport. Children just love to see Mum or Dad out there marking, measuring, timing, starting or retrieving flying objects. It is now easier than ever to become an OFFICIAL.

Being an OFFICIAL gives you the opportunity to understand the rules and regulations, to promote fairness and to get closer to the action at Zone events. This is an opportunity to see our great athletes exceed all expectations, to experience the competitive tension close up and feel the pride and the passion driving this great sport.

This great sport needs more volunteers to step forward as OFFICIALS for future ZONE events. The North West Metropolitan Zone has a great Mentoring Program for OFFICIALS and we want to continue Winston Hills LAC’s rich tradition of participation. Our club has boasted the highest level of membership in the zone over recent years. In order to sustain this achievement for future years we need aspiring OFFICIALS to step forward today.

Entry starts at level “D” and requires you take a short exam which you can do in the comfort of your own home. Progressing to level “C” gives you the opportunity to take greater responsibility and to participate at a higher grade of competition.

Please consider this opportunity for the continued wellbeing of our great sport and the people who take most pleasure from it - our children. If you need further information on how to proceed please send your request by email to bros007nan@gmail.com adding OFFICIAL in the title box.

As of this season our weekly results will be here on this website.

The format of the results is the same as in previous years where you have received individual results sheets.

All that you need to do is go to the Weekly Results page (click on the heading in the left column). From there just locate in the grid the relevant Age Group and Week and then click on the relevant gender. Once the report loads locate the relevant page.

If you cannot open a pdf document it may be that you do not have acrobat installed on your PC. Download it from the web from acrobat (it is a free software).
