  Track & Field Athletics Australia    by Graham Thomas 

Athletics Gold Autograph Book

When I started the site it included an automated Guestbook where visitors could post their feedback and messages.

This was fine at first but I had to take it down when some idiots submitted offensive material. Now feedback is via email.

Below are some of the archived comments about this site:

"Unreal page Graham!!! Heaps to look at and stay interested. Would like to see my current ranking updated though ;-) Will be surfing by soon to see what you will do next!" - Helen Toussis - Australian Shot Putt Champion

"Dear Graham I am writing as director of the IAN Regional Development Centre in Adelaide asking for your support for one of our projects.

We found your Golden Girls history on the internet very interesting and would like to use it in this edition of the bulletin as a history of early women's athletics in Australia. I look forward to hearing from you." - Fletcher McEwen

Just wanted to let you know that I think your site is great. Keep up the great work. With many thanks - Kay Johnston

"Great to see up to date rankings, albeit unofficial. Many thanks for this great service, the athletes and coaches are very appreciative of your efforts. Keep up the good work." - Lee Derby - WA Coach

Nice site! Especially liked the stuff about Tania Van Heer :) - icer@kierenperkins.org

Hello Graham, I've had a pleasant trip through your pages. Very interesting. We will have to compare notes. Good luck for your further work. - Paul Jenes, Athletics Australia Statistician

I would just like to congratulate both Tim at Athletics Victoria and Graham Thomas who both get a mention in the Sunday Age for the best of the Internet athletics sites. Well done to both of you guys! - Peter Spemcer

Graham, Have just found your site and am very impressed. I have just released the book on the 1983 to 1991 Sydney to Melbourne Ultra Marathons and am about to embark on a more ambitious project. That is compiling the complete history of Australian Ultra running and walking (dates competitively back to 1880). Any info? - Phil Essam

Just been browsing through your rankings. Excellent stuff. - Bob Sparks, President, A.T.F.S.

Great Pages! So much interesting history - most of it all new to me. I am looking forward to seeing more additions to the site. Well Done! - Petrea Hayman

Thanks for your very interesting site, I am researching notable Australian Sportswomen for inclusion in ACT Street Names and if you have any Australian Sportswomen who you think should be commemorated, I would be happy to add them to my database. - Lorraine Bayliss

This is an excellent site! It's good to see for once, a good aths site! I can't wait till it's finished though. - Justine :)
