Our Kerran
Mudgway Memorial Club Championships went off very well at
Lake Bennett last weekend.
A big thank you to new volunteer Race Director Glenn Grant,
our rego volunteers Alan
Barrett & Gayle
Viney, our fruit | Ice man of the day John Thyne, Moira Wigley
who covered water safety, Col
Smith who probably gave you some cheek at the bike
turnaround, the Lind
family for all their assistance with set up and pack down and of course,
thank you also to the brilliant water stop crew (of all ages) who were a
very welcome sight for competitors.
The usual behind the scenes efforts of president Tony Cox and
our timing guru Gary
Wall were as always, also appreciated.
We would also like to thank those who just pitched in to help when
required, it takes a huge team effort to bring you events like this and I
think we covered it really, really well.

JUNIOR NEWS:
This Sunday (29 May
16) is the last junior
event on the calendar for this membership year.
As Triathlon NT have scheduled an event for seniors out at Lake Bennett in
the morning, we have shifted our junior event to the afternoon.
We have modified the format of the event by taking out the
bike leg. As there is an increase in traffic in the area in the afternoon's
it would not be safe for the kids to be riding around the carpark. We
will instead be setting up some swimming and running activities.
What to bring:
Swimmers
Goggles
Bottle of water
Runners
Towel
$3 registration fee
If you have any friends that might want to come and try it
is $10 for non-members to come along.
There will be a sausage sizzle at the end.
We would like an idea of numbers for catering purposes so
please let me know if you will be coming along by emailling darwintriclubjunior@gmail.com
by 5pm tomorrow Friday.
