2. A FREE Grill’d Voucher for every member!
Grill’d Hampton has joined us AGAIN as one of our Community Partners for the 2023 / 24 Season.
For the month of December, Sandy Little Athletics Club will be one of 3 Community Clubs that will be participating in their well known “Local Matters Community Program”, a program designed to give back to the Community. Last year we WON this program and were able to reinvest the funds won back to the club.
We are gifting every Sandy Little Athletics Club member with a Free Voucher for either a Grill’d Hampton Burger or Salad – WHO DOESN’T LOVE FREE STUFF?
In order to increase our chances of winning the Local Matters Program, we ask that you use your voucher in store during the month of December. You will be given tokens in store when you visit Grill’d. Please allocate these to Sandy Little Aths. The more tokens, the higher chance our club has of winning. If we win again, we receive a donation of funds from Grill’d which will help assist our club.
To collect your FREE Voucher please visit the Canteen at the track on either Saturday 2nd or Saturday 9th of December.

Events consisting of five disciplines will be held on one day. Events consisting of more than five disciplines will be held on two consecutive days.
Athletes in the Under 9 through to Under 17 age groups are eligible to participate – anyone is welcome! (Spots are limited though!). Registrations for the event are still open but some age groups have filled – have a look through your email for registration info from LAVIC (or SEE LINK HERE.)
