Robyn's E News 10 July 2012


Hi All,


There will be no E News tomorrow but as we have some information we wished to convey to members please see below:


PRESENTATION NIGHT:


1. Our annual presentation night will take place on Sunday 19 August 2012 at Il Lido restaurant. 
2.  Tickets will be on sale online soon.  Watch for further details.
3.  For now, can you please lock in the date.


CLUB UNIFORM ORDER:


1.  Good news, our uniform order has been dispatched and is on its way.
2.  I’ll email collection details when it arrives and is sorted.


OTHER NEWS:


1.  A celebration of the life of Max Ellison will take place tomorrow, Wednesday 11 July 2012.  Funeral service and mass will be held at St Paul's Cathedral, Nightcliff at 10am


2.  Emma Winterflood is one of many members who have fond memories of Max.  Emma recalls first taking up cycling when she came to town... she would only do the race if Max was in it as well, as he always looked after (and out for) her!!!


3.  Ashley Manicaros was also saddened to read of Max's passing. He remembers how Max went above and beyond his duty when helping as a volunteer and can recall one race where Tim was the race director and the day before Tim had Max - then in his 70s - out in middle of Lake Alex moving the swim buoys' around. These had floats at the top but weights at the bottom. Tim had him moving these things slightly left, slightly right, back a bit...others would have tired of the slight modifications but not Max. Max made men half his age look ordinary when he took his shirt off.


4.  Max was an active member until recently and together with Yvonne was a regular competitor & volunteer at our events.  Team Ellison would often start a little ahead of the field, keeping meticulous timing so their splits could be recorded.


Vale Max Ellison


Safe training,
Cheers,
Robyn
