Clubs ventured to the Upper Hunter town from Gunnedah, Merriwa, Denman, Muswellbrook, Singleton, East Maitland, Edgeworth and Scone.
Of these, 23 were in the Tiny Tots division (athletes three and four years of age).
These youngsters had a day of play training activities including obstacle course, leap frog, sack race, egg and spoon race, baton relay, tug-o-war and a fun run, under the guidance of Brogan Dunn and Kristy Cunneen.
At the end of the final session, they were presented with a medallion in recognition of their achievements.

“The athletes in the older age groups took part in five events over the day – three running and two field,” Aberdeen Senior and Little Athletics Centre Inc secretary Denise Bell said.
“Prior to the start, a dice was rolled to determine the feature event for each age group with first, second and third being awarded a medallion.
“In all other events, certificates were awarded and these recorded the athlete’s results.
“Many thanks to Sally Hagley, from Merriwa, who offered to write the athlete’s results on these certificates.
“Our gratitude also to all parents who helped out as group leaders, officials, time keepers, starter, announcing, recording and to all canteen and barbeque helpers.
“Your help throughout the day made it a great success for both the athletes and, financially, for the Aberdeen club.”
