We are going to be placing an order for some club kit soon. Below is an indication of the items that we can order and the price range depending on the number of items that we order. Only one order will be placed again this year so if you want club kit then order now. The order will be placed the first week in March so it will arrive in time for club nationals. 50% deposit will be required on order when the order is placed. You will be sent an email telling you how to make payment and confirming your order. If we order 10 items only the prices are shown in the 10+ column – if we order 50 or more items the price will be as shown in the 50+ column. Last year we ordered over 100 items so were able to get the best discount.

The price includes delivery and GST. We need to place a minimum order of 5 of any item.

There has been some clarification over a number of unusual results that have been posted over the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately the record that we thought that had been set by Michaela wasn’t to be as it was actually a DNF as she had a mechanical fault and turned early. So the womens course record now rightfully belongs to Megan Blatchford at 18mins 29sec which Megan matched again this week.
