Dunbar Logistics
- The track event will be first aiming for a 10.30 am start time. It will be the last track event of Little A’s just before the timing teams pack up the track.
- Keep helping at your Little A’s event but start warming up about 10am.
- We will make a PA announcement 15mins before the track event starts
- After the track event you may go back to your helper location or start the field event straight away. Work together to make sure we can all have a go.
