E NEWS 30 NOVEMBER 2016
We were lucky with near perfect conditions for our Aquathlon at the
Waterfront on Saturday evening. A great field at a top venue with
lots of age group competition, lots of spectators and lots of
encouragement. And lots of positive feedback!
A huge thank you to Alan
Barrett our Race Director. In case you hadn't
noticed, Alan has been RD at no less than four of our events this season.
Kimberlie Baldwin
& Kerri Thomas
sorted check in for us again and Jamie
Baldwin handled
our fruit | ice to perfection, thank you. And thanks to those who
jumped in to lend a hand on the day, appreciated!
As we slip into December, Christmas crazy is well and truly upon us and we
are all scrambling to fit everything in.
Do hope you all have our final event of the year, the ConocoPhillips Xmas Splash n Dash,
on your calendars and have your Santa hats, jiggle bells & tinsel
sorted.
For this event, we need

3. Notice to members:
The Darwin Waterfront Corporation advise that both the inner and outer
areas of the Recreation Lagoon will be closed from 6 to 9 December 2016 while cleaning works to the sea
water intake pipes are underway. Swimming in the Recreation Lagoon will not
be permitted during this time.
Sea water is constantly pumped into the Recreation Lagoon through three
different intake pipes to manage water quality and maintain a constant
water level.
The Corporation is undertaking cleaning of the pipes which are subjected to
marine growth given the nature of the natural marine environment.
Cleaning will be undertaken through high pressure water-jetting of the
pipes and removal of any marine growth within the pipes.
The maintenance works are required periodically to ensure longevity of the
Recreation Lagoon and maintain to a high standard of water quality for
swimmers.
Big Buoy Water Park will not operate during the closure.
The Recreation Lagoon will reopen on Saturday 10 December 2016.
4. Good luck to those competing at Ironman WA this weekend inc Brad Fitzwater, Sarah McEachern & Kerri Thomas.
5. Good
luck Clare Labowitch, lining
up for Ironman 70.3 WA on Sunday.

8. Also email if you would like to pre order a cotton tee for
collection at our next event. Include your size (based on half size -
measuring a tee that fits across just under the armpit) and we will let you
know colour options still available. They make great stocking
fillers! $15 each or 3 for $40. (Kids sizes $10)
