This comprises regular weekly results and occasional picture stories advertising an upcoming event, and athlete's performance or an item of family interest. Understandably, the QT prefers to deal with just one point of contact at the Centre, and it is for this reason that we ask that any submissions or proposed submission for the newspaper (a story on your Little Athlete, a complaint, some praise etc) be co-ordinated through the Publicity Officer. It will also ensure that any material published in the newspaper <B>does</B> reflect the views of the committee.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````</B></div> <div> <B>Canteen</B><FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B> </B></FONT><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B>          </B></FONT></div> <div>                <IMG SRC="0ec5e430.gif" border=0 width="94" height="67" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">                            <IMG SRC="0db4b4b0.gif" border=0 width="75" height="75" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">                                   <IMG SRC="0823f390.gif" border=0 width="63" height="57" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> The canteen should be open on all competition days and nights.
