Hi All,
Darwin
Triathlon Club celebrates its 25th anniversary this month.
Triathlon has been around the Top End far longer than that, but our club was
officially incorporated on 30 November 1989.
The
composition of our membership can change each year due to the often transient
nature of life in Darwin, but the best things about our club are the warm welcome given to our new
members, the friendly nature of our events and the lasting friendships and
connections made by our members that endure long after people have left the NT.
It is not
unusual to receive requests for uniform items from those leaving. Many
want to maintain their link with our club or quite simply wear our colours
because they are recognised around the country and overseas and are a great
conversation starter – usually a “do you know ….”!
Links
remain strong and there are often reunions at far flung events or here in
Darwin when former members return for a visit or to compete.
We
recognise all those who have contributed to the development of Darwin Triathlon
Club over the past 25 years (many of whom are featured on our Honour Board) and look forward to the
continuing success of our club in the years to come.
To ensure
we are catering to our member’s needs, the committee is reviewing all our
operations, building on work commenced by previous committees.
We are also
listening to member feedback and our event this Sunday is an addition to our
original calendar after members indicated a preference for more of this
distance. Thank you to those wonderful people putting up their hand to
volunteer so that this and our other events can take place.

Notes:
1. We
ask that you take the time to read the basic rules of triathlon before our event
on Sunday.
2.
Blue Cycles NT will be on hand at our event should you need mechanical
assistance & they will also be helping out. Thanks to Matt and the
team for their continued support at our events.
3.
Blue Cycles have come to the rescue on a number of occasions but it would be
far better if they had nothing to do, so we suggest you make sure you have
checked your bike, pumped up your tyres and remember your helmet on race day!
