The preparations are in full swing for the Multicultural Athletic Meet 2022 to be held at the Casey Fields, a multi-sports complex located at Cranbourne East in south-eastern Melbourne on 25 June.

Kuldeep Singh Aulakh is a well-known athlete in the Punjabi community who has steadily grown in stature, winning various medals over the past 25 years. 

With the aim of bringing awareness about athletics within the local community, he started Diamond Sports Club a few years ago.

In a joint effort, the Diamond Sports Club and Chardikala Athletics Club are organising a multi-culture athletics meet this Saturday (25th June) in Cranbourne East.
