Hi All,
Appears that many of you have washed the mud from your mountain bikes and splashed a bit of oil those chains, in preparation for our event on Saturday.
It’s a “looked forward to” event on our calendar which is thoroughly enjoyed. If you don’t have a mountain bike, you can always consider doing a team with your friends.
See you all down at Lake Alex on Saturday afternoon.
COMING UP - LYCRA AND LANE FEVER – OUR PLANNING DAY
Important Message from Club President Phill Hatty:
You will have seen a notice in earlier editions of E news advertising our upcoming Club Planning Day (Sunday 26 Feb 2012). This is a day that your committee has put together so that we can reflect and think about the club, its successes and its future direction. We have a very good club, but we need to understand why it is good and how we can continue the DTC to be a premier triathlon club in the future.
To do this well, we need a good cross-section of views and ideas and I therefore urge you to consider giving your club a few hours of your time to attend this planning day. This is for all ages and levels of experience – so don’t think you’re too young and don’t think you’re too new.
Graeme Parsons, who also happens to be our club secretary, is an experienced facilitator and has donated his time to facilitate the day. He has prepared an info sheet (attached) on what to expect and to answer questions you might have.
If you are interested, or want to find out more, please contact myself or Graeme.
We need to know numbers to finalise the venue and lunch on the day. Please email here if you are coming, or if you have any questions.
Regards,
Phill Hatty, DTC President

Safe training,
