Hi All,
We had an
amazing turnout for our duathlon at Dripstone Park at the weekend and the
course got a huge thumbs up from competitors.
The weather
obliged as well with the dry season switch being flicked, and it was great to
have cooler conditions in play.
A big shout
out to RD Tony Cox, Equipment Officer Alex Murdock, Timing Guru Gary Wall, the
team from Blue Cycles NT and all our other fantastic
volunteers for helping out on the day. We couldn't have done it without
you all. Thank you!
Please note

COMMITTEE NEWS:
1. We
launched our 2015 | 2016 Events Calendar this week.
2.
The club is now also seeking sponsorship for those events and has developed Sponsorship Guidelines to assist that
process.
3.
We are hopeful that this way we will continue to be able to promote the
sport; cover increased event costs; purchase a replacement for our aging
equipment trailer; obtain new bike racks & event signage etc. while still
maintaining our very affordable low entry fees for our members.
4.
Members of the sponsorship sub-committee will be approaching individuals and
businesses over the coming weeks.
5. If
you (or a business you are connected with) would like to sponsor an event or
series we also welcome immediate expressions of interest from potential
sponsors by email.
2.
And of course, you are very, very welcome to get the word out there that
we are seeking 2015 | 2016 sponsorship partners right now!
