NewsBite – February 2019

Welcome to the first Wrecsam Tri newsletter of 2019 – the start of a new triathlon season is almost in sight, bringing to an end those lonely turbo sessions in the garage and icy runs in the dark!
We’re always after new ideas so if you have any club or event news that you’d like included in a future edition please get in touch through the facebook members page or email wrecsamtriclub@gmail.com

Club AGM

Thanks to all those that attended the club AGM hosted by our friends at Oneplanet Adventure on February 3rd. We now have a new committee which looks like this…
Thomas Brown – Chairman
Siobhan Henn – Treasurer
Christian Edwards – Secretary
Jude Lovell – Membership Secretary
Ian Laing – Welfare Officer
Rob Pullen – Kit Manager
Frances Owen – Social Secretary
Andy & Rachael Bennion – Publicity Secretaries
Bill Crawshaw – Head Coach
Sarah Wynne-Jones – Swim Lead
Wilf Goodfellow – Bike Lead
Frances Owen – Run Lead
I’m sure we’d all like to thank our outgoing committee members who’ve put in so much hard work over the past few years.
Following the meeting formalities, activities consisted of a snowy trail run and mountain biking for the braver amongst the group!

Marshalls Wanted
April 28th

Its time for a call to action to support the most important triathlon of the year! As you know Chirk tri relies on its volunteers to make this fantastic event possible and you may be surprised to hear that we need at least 70 people to even run the event (we have about 30 so far).
This year is bring a buddy day so if you’re competing why not bring someone with you who can not only support but contribute to the running of the event at the same time. Volunteers will receive a goody bag, packed lunch and 3 day Chirk leisure centre pass. Please email Derrick Batty battybatg@gmail.com with your preference for am/pm slots and if you are entered in the race.
