November 16
What a great
turnout at the Waterfront on Saturday evening for the first of our wet
season Aquathlons. It's a popular course and reflected in the
numbers.
A big welcome back to those who came out of the woodwork for this - catch
up time all round!
Again we had Alan
Barrett as RD and we offer Al a huge thank you (always a
willing volunteer, he has also been using time out for injury to give back
to the club in the RD role and we really appreciate his contribution. We
are however hoping to see him back on the otherside of the fence, ie on a
start line soon).
Thanks also to rego wizards Kim
Baldwin & Kerri
Thomas and super shopper Jamie Baldwin who took care of
our yummy post race refreshments (and ice).
To those who just pitched in to help where needed, we are also grateful for
your help. Our events are amazing because of our fantastic volunteer
culture & we thank you!
