Hi All,
It’s been
busy, busy this week for committee members.
We have had
our Presentation Night to arrange and we are
in for a great night - President Phill Hatty is looking forward to welcoming
those attending our dinner.
Your
committee has also conducted a Special Meeting to address the very important
issue of event sanctioning. We need to ensure all our events are covered and
this may mean a few minor changes to our calendar so that course documentation
can be standardised. Our thanks to Steve Goat and John Arrigo who are
crossing “Ts” and dotting “I’s” for our next block of events.
Speaking of
our calendar, we are still missing some volunteers in upcoming events &
want to particularly encourage those who have a couple of years tri experience
under their belt, to step up and take on a Race Director role. We can
provide mentoring if you need.
