E NEWS 16 November 16
 

What a great turnout at the Waterfront on Saturday evening for the first of our wet season Aquathlons.  It's a popular course and reflected in the numbers.

A big welcome back to those who came out of the woodwork for this - catch up time all round!

Again we had Alan Barrett as RD and we offer Al a huge thank you (always a willing volunteer, he has also been using time out for injury to give back to the club in the RD role and we really appreciate his contribution. We are however hoping to see him back on the otherside of the fence, ie on a start line soon).

Thanks also to rego wizards Kim Baldwin & Kerri Thomas and super shopper Jamie Baldwin who took care of our yummy post race refreshments (and ice).

To those who just pitched in to help where needed, we are also grateful for your help.  Our events are amazing because of our fantastic volunteer culture & we thank you!
