NEW OSAC UNIFORM SHOP COMING
Our new uniform range is still in production, and will be available before the season starts. A link will be available for you to purchase directly from Pacific Team Sports (PTS).
The range will include this awesome Hoodie to keep you warm out on the track between competition events.
Summer helpers still required
Don’t be shy……
We need a willing parent or athlete to coordinate Old Scotch’s volunteer/official obligations – create a roster and follow up participants.
We also seek a helper to publish our weekly newsletters on Mailchimp. The copy and photos will be provided.
These roles do not require attending committee meetings, although would of course be welcome.
Please contact one of our committee or email: oldscotchathleticclub@gmail.com
Great Family Day Spirit!
