Hi All,
The weather
gods were kind for our Splash N Dash and the junior event at the Waterfront on
Saturday evening. The location is a picture perfect event backdrop and we
gained a lot of interest from those on the sidelines and from the various
establishments.
A big thank
you to our volunteer Race Director Brian Gallagher for his efforts in putting
this event on for us. Also a big thank you to our roster volunteers, the
team from Blue Cycles NT and those of you who stepped up on the evening to help
out. As always, we acknowledge our events are only possible because of
our brilliant volunteers.
GOOD NEWS:
1.
More good news regarding events with confirmation that our additional
triathlon on Sunday 23 November 14 will go ahead at Lake Alex.
2.
You asked for it! The distance: 300m swim, 13km bike, 3km run.
3. HELP NEEDED - We have listed president Tony Cox as RD
for the event on the 23rd, but now appeal for someone to step up and
volunteer to co-pilot this event with him (he could then take part). Tony does
all our sanctioning, permits etc for every event as well as helping out
at the majority. Please email if you are available to assist Tony
with the RD position or can help out with marshalling.

ENTERING OUR CLUB EVENTS:

When entering our club events please use your DAR number (not your TA
number).
2. As
you also need your timing chip number for entry, why not write it on your
m’ship card and have all your info in the one place.
JOINING MULTIPLE CLUBS
1. Do
you have an interstate Triathlon Australia membership and now wish to join
Darwin Triathlon Club?
2. Or
are you leaving / have left Darwin and wish to join another club?
3. TA
give this information about joining multiple clubs: "It is possible to
join multiple clubs via our membership system. In order to do this, you need to
first of all complete your membership to TA, your State and your first club
option. Then you will need to go back into the membership system as though you
are registering for a second time. Use the same email address and password to
log in. The system will recognise that you already have paid for annual
membership to TA so it will show as ‘$0’ cost and you will not be charged for
this again. You can then choose the relevant State and second club from the
drop down lists. This time it will show up with a cost for the second club’s
annual membership. When you go through to the check out page you will only be
charged for the cost of membership to the second club. You will then be a
member of both clubs."
