A copy of the email sent to members on 18th Feb:
Firstly, congratulations to Sean Pooley on winning Sunday's Biathlon Trophy (and to Nathan Tweedie on setting a new Course Record).
The next club event is the Ride and Tie from Woodnewton Village Hall on Sunday 6th April. Please pop this in your Diaries, as it is a unique event to PACTRAC, but can only survive if supported. It's always been a bit of fun and a good brick session over a fairly short course - so no need to be afraid of it! (Are you AFRAID of it, or will you be there on 6th?).
Actually, the next club "outing" is the final Frostbite at Huntingdon on 2nd March, but you don't need reminding about that - do you? The new Running Vests are now in, and will be on show.
Due to complications with the BTF Event Insurance, it looks like we may only be having 1 specific Novice Mini-Series this year, rather than the usual 2. If you know anybody that is new to the sport, or has only been competing for less than a year, please let them know that this year's Novice Mini-Series Triathlon will be on Wednesday 28th May. We may have to ask non-members to sign a Temporary Membership Form, and to enter in advance this year, but are still waiting for the BTF to clarify this.
I now have a shed load of PACTRAC Bike and Tri kit which I will be taking to events as well as swimming at Oundle. If you want any kit, please come and see me. I also have a few Membership Cards still to distribute to those that have already renewed their Membership. For those that haven't done so yet, please note that Membership Renewal is due before the end of February. After this date the price goes up by £5, so please help the club and the Membership Secretary, by renewing before the end of Feb.
To encourage the use of Tokens for swimming, the club Committee have agreed that the Tokens will be sold in multiples of 5 at £3 each; or members can pay for individual sessions in cash at £4. This will become effective from 1 March 2014. Their will be no change for most members, but it does assist those collecting on the night if everybody either buys a "job-lot" or has a Token ready.
