Bob has mentioned that he may run some hill training at some point in the future and will advise via the forum if and when he intends to (ahem) … run these (sorry)

The AGM presentation was conducted by Bob Pringle and Gareth Hunt as the outgoing Chair and Treasurer respectively.

The new committee appointments for 2012 were also made with the following making up the committee for next year:

Chair – Matthew Hartley

Vice Chair – Vicky Moorhead

Treasurer – Gareth Hunt (Caretaker only)

Secretary – Natasha Baines

Coach – Mick Clarkson Shared with Bob Pringle

Membership secretary – Dave Harris

Race organiser – Jon Staniforth

Kit secretary – Vicky Moorhead

Coaching Co-ordinator – Mick Clarkson

Publicity Officer – Gail Phillips

Website – Matthew Hartley

Welfare Officer – Andy Rowland

Resource Organiser – Guy Wreggitt

Social Secretary – t.b.c.

..and one post which somehow got missed was the Junior section Co-Ordinator, which, unless there are any post meeting objections is understood to remain as Nicola Malley.

There were no challenges to these positions and acknowledgement was given to those committee members stepping out of their roles.

A question which was left open to members for their contribution was to assist with helping the club decide how and on what to spend the surplus generated from the year’s activities as re-investment for the next year. Please advise your contribution to this question by email to shefftriclub@gmail.com

Alternatively check the calendar to see what’s happening each week.

Thanks

Junior Tri Club starts at our new regular venue, Westfield School, on Saturday 10th September. Each session will start with around 55 minutes of either bike, run or a combination of both. There will be a short 10 minute break for our juniors to get ready for swimming and we ask that parents stay to help with this if necessary. There will then be a 50 minute coached swim. The aim of these junior club sessions is to improve the kids’ abilities across all three triathlon disciplines whilst enjoying the sport. There will also be an aquathon competition on Sundays once a month from November to April where we’d love to see all the juniors have a go! With potential for prizes!!!
Each two hour session costs £4 per child, but there will be no annual membership fee for our junior members until January 2012.
The sessions will generally be 2.30-4.30 but this will vary on Aquathon weekends. Please arrive early to register. We ask that parents either stay onsite at Westfield or provide contact details for use throughout the session, and sign their children in before each session and out at the end.
For the first session please bring run and swim kit, bikes will not be needed. A schedule of activities will be posted shortly to cover the next few months.
If you are intending to attend the junior club, please email Nicola, Junior Tri Club Coordinator, at sheffieldjuniortri@hotmail.co.uk so we have an idea of how many juniors to expect.
See you there!

These sesssions are primarily focused around technique improvement and development. We won’t teach you to swim but we’ll work with your technique on specific drills to get your stroke more efficient whilst also building that all important endurance. We ask that you can swim a minimum of 400m continuously before you attend these sessions to enable you to get the most out of them. £4 payable before the session begins. Graves leisure centre off Bochum Parkway.

So if you’re really keen, you can swim open water at Rother Valley in the morning and then hone your technique at Graves in the evening.

These events are swim-run at both Westfield (winter months) and Hathersage (summer months) and duathlon, run-bike-run at Fairholmes adjacent to Ladybower reservoir (summer months). Results of these events are usually posted quickly after the event under training on the website header titles.

The calendar page should also detail when the races are being held.

There is a small charge for entry to these races which is payable when you register.

Have fun.
