Twilight Program / Christmas Party
The Centre Christmas Party and Twilight Meet was held on Friday 16th December, a great way to finish 2016.
A big thank you to all the Centre Committee Members, Club Members, Athletes and their families that came to our annual Christmas Party. It was a fantastic night with lots of fun had by all, especially with the additional activities for the kids. Unfortunately the running of the 100m under lights was cancelled due to the Oval Lights not scheduled to stay on past the 7.45pm shut off.
Special mention to Vanessa who did a great job as Announcer for the night and got right into the spirit of Christmas along most of the kids.
Another huge thanks to ‘Santa’ for visiting our Centre Meet, you always do an amazing job. Thanks to the Quinns Beach Volunteers Fire Brigade for driving Santa across the oval in their Fire Truck, the kids were so excited and absolutely loved it!!
Finally, Ridgewood LAC wishes all our members and their families a very happy and safe Christmas and New Year
