E NEWS 27 JANUARY 2016


Given the storm that went through early Sunday morning we had an amazing turnout for the final event of our annual Aquathlon Series.

A big shout out to volunteer RD of the day Clare Labowitch whose efforts marking the run course got completely washed away in the downpour!

Thanks to Clare and the rest of our wonderful volunteers, our event got underway albeit a little delayed, and was enjoyed by all.

Apologies for the lack of splits in the results for this one, but the weather played havoc. Lucky we had Julie Gallagher and Moira Wigley on the finish line.  Thanks ladies!

Our junior members (5+) get their 2016 events underway this weekend.  Watch for email details from our junior co-ordinator Mel Lind for more details.
