"As ever we need the club to pull together for this event"

Monday Training

For the foreseeable future all Monday sessions are held at the LSV track - everyone welcome

Thursday Training

Paul Basnett assisted by Michaela Shaw are helping to bring the Thursday group back to life.  As well as the normal 5 - 8 mile runs we are introducing shorter runs of around 3 miles so no one is put off by the distance.  It would be fantastic to see former Thursday runners come down and help support this session

Road Champs

Next Club races are the Horwich 5 - Wednesday 20th July and Elswick 10 Saturday 23rd July 

Loyalty Scheme

The Gin Pit welfare club plan to introduce a loyalty scheme for all members in which you will get discount off drinks purchased at the bar.  You will need to show your membership card so they can scan the bar code on the back .. note - these cards have not been produced yet and are likely to be in place for the next renewal.

British Triathlon Affiliation 

The members unanimously voted in favour of going forward for British Triathlon Affiliation.

We will contact BTA and put the wheels in motion.

It may be that we get registered for the start of 2012 .. we will keep you all informed.
