Hi All,
This
weekend we are again heading to Lake Alexander for the second of the events
making up our annual Sprint Series.
Entries to
date show it will be popular which supports the feedback from our member survey
last year that the majority of you wanted to do sprint distance events.
By now you
will be aware that entry closes midday Friday. If you haven’t yet done
so, get your entry in now so you don’t forget.
As there
was at least one mad dash home made before Race #1 to retrieve a forgotten
chip, this is a reminder to not leave the house without yours on race day.
See you all
at Lake Alex on Sunday!
