Attendance badges
An attendance badge will be presented to a member if they participate, in a 'qualifying event', every weekend throughout the winter season.  A special badge will be presented to a member on gaining an attendance badge in 3 consecutive years.  And now for the fine print:

-       The season starts on 29 March and ends on 27 September

-       A 'qualifying event' is a Scottish club run / race or interclub event on each Saturday, plus all Athletics NZ sanctioned events (which will include most half and full marathons, and interclub events in other Centres)

-       A member can 'participate' by (as applicable) going for a run or walk in one of the packs; completing a race; or helping as a race day official.

-        A member may miss up to two weekends during the season and still qualify

-       The member must record their attendance in the Attendance Register
