This report summarises the main actions undertaken by the TC for October 2018
Meet templates season 2018/2019
The meet templates were reviewed and updated at an in-person meeting September 28th and 30th at AGM weekend in Edmundston. These were further developed and posted to the SNC website along with Meet manager files and events files for each division.
This was done with the help of David Richard from CVAC and SNB communication liaison. These can be found under the header ‘’CLUB’’ under the drop down ‘’meet hosting’’. If you find any errors or omissions on these please forward them to the Chair of the Technical committee.
