Bayswater Bullets Little
Athletics Club, one of eleven clubs within the Knox Little
Athletics Centre was successful in being granted a Local
History Grant by the State Public Records Office Victoria in
November 2006 for their 40th Anniversary during the 2008/09
season..
Part of this project was to
discover the early Little Athletics history by
interviewing those who were there at the time during the mid
1960's in Geelong and obtaining early Little Athletics
records.
Although not complete, we
have listed it here for those interested in the origins of
our sport, and the hurdles that had to be overcome during
those formative years.
Please bookmark this page
as it will be updated as more information come to hand over
the next twelve months or so.
We would also like to hear from
those involved with Little Athletics during these early
times.
