Hi All,

The Fernwood All Girls Tri is happening at Lake Alexander on Sunday. Many of our members will be there volunteering in various capacities and please feel free to come on down (early) and encourage participants. The women I've spoken to are extremely excited about this chance to "tri" our sport.

Please note that there is road closure in place from the East Point entrance gates for the duration of this event so you may need to park along Alex Fong Lim and walk in.

We don't want anyone to miss out. Numbers are required for catering purposes and your assistance in purchasing early is requested. Keep a copy of your receipt to bring on the night.

2. Presentation Night venue, catering and theme is all in the capable hands of Ali Croser and Shaye Hatty. They are encouraging everyone to come as their "Alter Ego".

3. "Alter Ego" is a second self/ an inseparable friend / another aspect of one's self . Should be lots of fun !

4. Nominations for the Dag of the Year have been dug out of the vault and the infamous honour will be bestowed at the dinner. Could be you....

5. Announcements of the new 2011 Australian Championships Series events and the qualification events for 2011 ITU World Championship events (Long course [LC], Olympic Distance [OD] and Sprint [SD]) will be posted to TA website shortly.

6. Our recent OD and LC events & our SD in March next year are included. If you are interested in nominating for the Beijing age group team and you did the OD here at the end of May, you are off to a good start points wise. Selection policies will be posted to TA website this month.

7. WTC has announced the cause of the failure of their online event tracking system over the weekend was "cyberattack" Whatever the cause, it certainly frustrated the life out of those taking an interest in IM Canada and Louisville.

8. Don't forget to encourage your non-swimmer cycling and/or running mates to enter our NT Duathlon. It's part of the new Australian Duathlon Series and a qualifier for ITU World Duathlon Championships next year.

9. Check the date. Shops will be playing Jingle Bells soon !

Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
