Hi All,
So much info in this E News it's probably worth having a coffee break !
We had a great turnout of competitors and spectators at Nightcliff Pool on Saturday. Thanks to Race Director Kylie Sheffield (who somehow managed to get the approaching storms to hold off until after the event) and all who assisted. Without our enthusiastic members who volunteer to assist at our events they just wouldn't happen.
Some newer members raced with us for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Welcome to the best club in town (and I think, Australia) to all our recently arrived members.

OTHER NEWS:
1. There is news that the stork will remain busy this year. Kylie and Paul Sheffield are expecting a new arrival mid year. Fantastic news!
2. I believe Kyle Gear was in action again down south over the weekend but results are yet to be sourced.
3. Parents of youngsters will be interested to hear that Hollies learn to swim program has now moved to Jingili. 10 wk term starts 25th Jan, for babies to intermediate children as pool is only 12mtrs long. To enrol phone Hollie: 0421 500 286
4. Peta Jeggo is that latest of our members to report being "attacked" by quite a large fish while swimming in the waterfront lagoon. Apparently it comes up from underneath and sucks at people's stomach area. And reportedly it is quite a persistent sucker fish....and quite un-nerving for even an accomplished swimmer. The Darwin Waterfront Corporation is looking into how to manage this.
5. A couple of our members have suggested a spear gun would do the trick!
6. At the recent Hobart Cadbury Marathon, Caine Warburton finished in 12th in 2.55.52. Caine says "the race was good but quite hilly with 3-4 hills per lap (2 lap race) and a INSANSE hill in the last 800m of the race (bigger and steeper than we have here that's for sure)" The race temp was around 20 deg he thinks.
7. Wet season warning - please be very, very careful riding across railway tracks in wet weather. There have been a few recent incidents where cyclists have come to grief. I've seen and heard of so many over the years I now get off and walk over rather than risk ending up in the middle of traffic minus a lot of skin !
8. OMGosh, Flickr views are at 34,559 ! I'll get photos up from weekend asap. The photos on Flickr are automatically reduced in size. If you would like original let me know and I'll forward.
9. Would you believe I think I have worn out a mouse! Frustration level high doing this E News. Off to find a replacement that will behave nicely in the highlight, cut, paste and drag functions.
Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
