E NEWS 18 January 2017
 



Happy New Year to you all.

Trust you all had / are still having and enjoyable break over the festive season.

Welcome to our new members and welcome to Darwin to those recently arrived.

Our 2017 events get underway this weekend with the running of Aquathlon #3 (which incorporates the NT Aquathlon C'ships) at the Waterfront Lagoon (note change from Lake Alexander) and we look forward to catching up with you all there.
 


COMMUNICATION:

We would like to encourage you all to check our social media platforms during 2017 as E News may be a little less regular.

So check it often for up to date news snippets, results, photos and club info.

If you are on Facebook, why not join Darwin Tri - Buy | Swap | Sell | Wanted page to check for available tri related bargains?

We are on Twitter and also Instagram @tridarwin.

6.  Check our Facebook page for athlete results from various events since last E News.

7.  Reminder re timing chips:  new members are issued with their timing chip free of charge & collect & sign for at their first event.

8.  If you lose/misplace your issued timing chip please purchase a replacement chip ($15) when entering your next event.

9.  It's your responsibility to bring your timing chip.  Issuing a temporary chip takes time & makes results harder to collate and if the numbers turning up events sans chips continues to increase, we will have to revert back to our "no chip, no time" rule. Thanks for your understanding.

10.  Parents of juniors, we have a number of kids tri tops and tri shorts available.  Your NT Sports Vouchers can be used for these.
