Below is some information about a Women’s Health & Wellbeing Information night that UWA Athletics Club is hosting on the 24^th of March, and they would like to invite other clubs and athletes to be a part of the night.

We’re excited to launch the first session in our two-part Athlete Health & Wellbeing Information Series. The series has been designed with dedicated sessions for women and men, beginning with our Women’s Health & Wellbeing Information Night.  For more information on the event, click here

Following the presentations, we’ll host a panel discussion featuring athlete representatives, creating a safe space for open and practical conversation amongst fellow women.

Maurice Creagh passed away on 6th March.

Maurice was a regular club runner for many years before hip pain caused him to stop running. Eventually he had a hip replacement and was just beginning to run again when dementia struck. We have not seen him at club events for several years.

Maurice was our star volunteer, always there to help especially at the State Championships. He was the first recipient of the President’s Pin award.

The funeral will be held on Tuesday 24-03-2026 at 11:00am at Sacred Heart Church, 50 Ovens Rd Thornlie.
