Our performances are improving as our club numbers grow - we are looking forward to Round 4 at Duncan McKinnon on the 12th November 2022.

Club Helpers
Each club must supply a minimum number of club helpers at each round of AVSL. Glenhuntly AC relies on parents, partners, friends and our competing athletes to fill the B Zone Club Duty Roster each week. Our AVSL competitions couldn’t happen without the fabulous efforts of our club helpers. A big thank you to the following people who were our club helpers at the Knox venue for Round 3:
Victoria Haritos , Larissa Honner, Fiona Noble, Ilan Freedman, Kurt Golonka
Apologies for missing Stuart Mackie and Alex Newman from AVSL R2 Pole Vault duty and cleanup.
Apologies if anyone was missed, please update the Club Duty spreadsheet.
