Good evening Sharkies,
 
We’ve now reached Week 5, and it’s great to see everyone settling back into the rhythm of the season.
 
This Friday, we’ll be introducing Age Marshal Briefing Sessions. These short briefings will help us identify any support needs, share important updates, and discuss any adjustments to the evening’s program.
 
A reminder that hurdles are on the program for all age groups this week. Hurdles are always a lot of fun, but they do require extra hands to move, lower, and reset when they are knocked over. If you’re helping out on the night, please be prepared to assist so we can keep things moving and finish on time.
 
I’d also like to take the opportunity to remind everyone about our Wet Weather Process.
We know families appreciate as much notice as possible, so we aim to make any weather-related decisions between 3:30 pm and 4:00 pm.  We’ll post updates on our social media channels, and we’ll email the primary contact address if the program needs to be cancelled or modified for safety reasons. 
So make sure you follow and engage with our socials to ensure to assist the algorithms. 
 
Thanks for your continued support, and we’ll see you all at the track on Friday!
