Since our AGM on the 29th November, we have been informed by Athletics NT - our parent body - that the fees they charge for each registered athlete will rise for 2021. These fees - known as capitation fees - will rise $10 to $40 for each adult registered athlete, and also $10 to $30 for each U18 athlete.
Our membership fees in 2020 (and for the last few years previous to that) were $40 for adult athletes and $20 for U18 athletes. Keeping the same fees through 2021 will mean we are losing money on each registered member, as we also have to cover the cost of membership bibs.
So our proposal is to raise the membership fees to $50 for adult members and $30 for U18 members. As you can see these fees do no more than barely cover the cost of memberships. All U18 members will have free entry to all regular club events.
Our constitution requires that changes to membership fees need to be approved by a General Meeting. Given that we have just held the AGM, we need to organize a new General Meeting and give 21 days notice to all members.
So a General meeting is notified for:
Date: Wednesday 30th December
Time: 7.00pm
Venue: 1A Winnecke Ave
The following motion will be moved:
That ASRWC membership fees for 2021 be set at $50 for adult members and $30 for U18 members.
Memberships for 2020
Memberships for 2020 are now closed.
We will soon be opening Memberships for 2021.
Thanks for being a member this year.
Deep Water Running
DEEP WATER RUNNING SESSIONS ARE COMING BACK!
Deep water running sessions sponsored by ASRWC will start again on Thursday 1st October at 5.30pm for 1 hour at ASALC.
And then each Thursday following at the same time.
You will need a water running belt to take part. So if you don't have one, then see Greg at Intersport to order.

Not the Monster 65 and 25 km
The Not The Monster event was a spectaculer success with about 100 people competing in either the 65 km ultramarathon or the 25 kilometre event.
Special thanks must go to all of the volunteers for making the event such a success, particularly the volunteers on the organisaing comittee and Marc Woods the Race Director. Legendary effort by all.
Special Congratulations to Ariarn Huston and Simon Duke for winning the 65 km event and Alexander Marcus and Georgina Beech for winning the 25 km.
A great morning was had on Sunday the 14th June with the running of the Telegraph Station Cross Country.
There was a great turnout and it was fantastic to see a number of people coming to an event for the first time.
Thanks to John for race directing and to all of our volunteers.
