Knox Little Athletics Centre Inc.

Thank you to all club members who attended the AGM on 4 May 2026.

A very special thank you to our Life Members and Distinguished Service Award recipients who also attended the evening.

• President – Jess Dux
• Vice President – Dave Frost
• Treasurer – Dylan Shuttleworth
• Registrar – Sarah Kirkwood

The Committee is still seeking to fill the Secretary role. This is an important position within the Centre and is required to be filled before the season begins.
