PRESENTATION NIGHT ON THIS FRIDAY!!!
The Box Hill Athletic Club presentation night will be held at the clubrooms on this Friday night, May 13 from 7:30pm. The evening will begin with a brief annual general meeting, followed by presentations, a special presentation 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!
We look forward to seeing you all at the presentation night on Friday!

MOVIE NIGHT, MAY 29 AT BALWYN CINEMA
Four athletes from Box Hill Athletics Club, 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 opportunity, however it does come at a cost for travel, accommodation and food etc. A Movie night fundraiser is being held 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.
