E NEWS - 20 APRIL 16
Race 1 of the annual Duathlon Series got off to an unusual (for this wet
season) damp start. We welcomed a number of new members to
their first event and had plenty of supporters on hand to encourage
competitors. Well done to all participants some of whom backed up from
the cross country the night before.
A big thank you to those on event roster - Race Director John Thyne,
our registration volunteers Rena
Walker & Angela
Librio and Vicki
Woodrow who took care of fruit & ice. Thanks also to
those who helped with our water station and with set up and packing away,
your assistance was much appreciated.
Our next event is one of the most popular on our calendar - the Enduro
format is back - 200m swim, 5km bike, 2km run x 3, which will
test the brain as well as the body.

COMMITTEE NEWS:
1. Thanks to John
Thyne who recently took our timing boxes to WA & back
for a much needed service.
2. Competitors at the duathlon will have noticed that our new racks
have now been shortened. Thanks to the HPA crew
who did a great job.
3. Also on racks, we would also like to thank Cycle Zone
Darwin & Nic French
for their input and help in sourcing a local supplier and refining our
rack design requirements. We are already noticing the difference
the new light weight design makes to towing the old trailer and also to
the willingness of people to assist with racking.
4. New trailer design is progressing. Watch this space.

Pointscore Policy from 1 July 2016 when we will change from 10 to 5 year
