watch for spectators. Well done to all our participants, in both the Sprint
and our Short Course.
A huge thank you to all our wonderful volunteers including:
RD Lisa
Payne headed up our team on the day; our rego duo of Leanne Abel
& John Cowie;
post race refreshments handled by Roger
Decurtins went over a treat (we think you all enjoyed the
healthy options); Gary
Wall assisted with the trailer as well as
timing (he's always busy); we had two wonderful volunteers step up -
Georgina Murphy & Casey Winton were on transition guard duties & on
the finish line to get finisher numbers; Warren Purse
took over marshalling hot corner for us; all those who assisted on our
drinks station including our juniors - thank you; Dale Berk

Notes:
1. Event History: The late Kerran
Mudgway was President of Darwin Triathlon Club 1998/1999 (at a time when we
struggled to fill positions). He was a great supporter and volunteer
at our club events. Sadly Kerran passed away on New Year's Eve 2001
after falling from a ladder and sustaining severe head injuries while
working on home renovations. His passing greatly shocked our close
knit triathlon community at the time. The Kerran Mudgway Memorial
Club Championships commenced in 2002 as a fitting way to remember Kerran
and his contribution to our sport.
2. This is our "must do" event
of the year. It's a challenge - afternoon start, fresh water swim and
hills!
COMMITTEE NEWS:
1. Our new trailer will be getting a facelift soon. David
Hancock is arranging artwork to be wrapped along with our
logo and we are hoping to have this done by our Club Championships.
2. Our old trailer is for sale. Make an offer.
3. Roger Decurtins is looking into ways we can make
our post race refreshment choices healthier. If you have any
suggestions please feel free to chat to him. He is also researching
recycling options for our cans and other ways to reduce the amount of
rubbish at our races.
4. Our calendar committee has commenced work on our 2017 | 2018
calendar - that's a watch this space.
5. Cannibal advise our custom club gear will be dispatched this week.
I'll email collection details when it arrives and is sorted.
6. Timing guru Gary Wall is "playing"
around with options to make our event timing more streamlined.
7. Thanks to ThinkLab
in Nightcliff we now have a new home for our meetings. ThinkLab
is Darwin's first coworking community. If you are looking for casual,
permanent or parttime office space, give them a call.
