Strategic Direction

Bendigo University Athletics Club is a strong local athletics club. To maintain this status a number of priorities have been identified. We want to maintain affiliation with Athletics Victoria, in order to remain a competing club. If we are not a competing club a number of our members would be disadvantaged and we may lose strong members who want to compete at a higher level.

Key Initiatives to be considered:

• Coaching sessions for members – committee to promote coaching of interested members to achieve higher standards and build the club profile
• Continued encouragement of seniors to run in Athletics Victoria events.
• Encouragement of new members to be actively involved in the running of the club and ensure regular turnover of committee roles
• Continued promotion of training session for members – including Wednesday nights at Lake Weeroona and the long run group on Sunday mornings from the corner of Crook and Condon streets in Kennington
• Ensuring new members are made to feel welcome and comfortable in their running with our club. Also make them aware of all opportunities available to them to encourage them to continue their membership.
• Continued encouragement of members to participate in Athletics Bendigo events such as Invitations, Combined Runs, Trot around Tuesdays at Lake Weeroona and the summer season, including the Saturday track events and Tuesday and Thursday night track series.
