Hi All,
We still have few remaining spots to fill on this season’s calendar, so if you haven’t yet volunteered in 2011/2012 please put up your hand for one of the following openings:
Timekeeping: Sat 14 April 2012 4.30pm at Kerran Mudgway Memorial (Lake Bennett)
Fruit / Ice: Sat 14 April 2012 4.30pm at Kerran Mudgway Memorial (Lake Bennett); Sunday 4 March 2012 7am Lake Alexander; Sunday 1 April 2012 7am Lake Alexander
Theory is, if everyone helps out at just one event per year, we can maintain the number of the events you like to have and also the low cost of our fees.
A quick glance at the current calendar reveals that we have some fabulous volunteers who help out often but also have those who have yet to help out. (In some cases, a number of people have requested same day and same duty so you may have not been added due to the position already being filled).
If “not knowing what to do” is preventing you from doing your bit for the club, I’ve attached the “How To” for fruit/ice again as well as time keeping. These should largely remove the mystery from those roles.
What do we do in the future if we can no longer rely on volunteers? Reduce number of events? Increase fees? Increase event fees? No longer hold events? That’s the question your hard working, voluntary President and committee members are currently looking into and to that end are inviting your participation at our up coming Planning Day (see details below).

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …
… friends are insanely jealous of your tanned legs ~ until they realise the tan stops where you bike shorts start.
… you have given up trying to go on training runs/rides with your boyfriends because they don’t take to kindly when you kick their butt
… your friend (girl) gets a new bike and tells you it’s a pretty blue. You (bloke) get a new bike and tell her the chain ring ratios.
Safe training,
Cheers,
Robyn
