Feb update

Oxford Tri members,

Time to put finger to keyboard and make sure everyone knows the great things that are happening in the club behind the scenes. Be ready for an information blast.

As I’m sure many of you know the Monday and Friday swims are very popular, for safety and sensibility we have had to make them sign up only. Not something that we wanted to happen as we are painfully aware that at this time of the year these are the main sessions on for members, please bear with us. For many years these sessions have almost been full at this time of year, everyone is keen , the nights are dark keeping us indoors and other sessions have not started. Normally towards March / April the numbers ease. This said, we are now a club bigger than ever and this needs addressing. The committee has scoured the 4 corners of Oxford to try and find more evening swim space. Dragon school have been very helpful  letting us use their facilities but have no further space, all other pools are full of swimming clubs.

Good news is on hand

We are close to finalising -                   Thursday morning swim at Radley College

                                                                An extra coached evening swim at Radley poss Wed or Thursday

                                                                Open water swimming at Dorchester lake

                                                                Coached Track session Thurs evenings ( should com 18.02.2010)

                                                                Monthly beginner coached cycle rides

Plus events such as                                Cycle maintenance sessions

                                                                Intermediate level coached weekend

                                                                Beginners  evening

                                                                More social events ( starting this Friday )

Don’t forget there are turbo sessions every Tuesday, Sunday group rides and in the summer the Bar events.

As you can see, lots to keep us busy and helping to getting us swimming / cycling / running at our best as part of Oxford Tri.   

We have a great coaching team helping were they can and please remember these coaches are not currently paid anything for their services. The club is run by all of us for all of us.

I will throw more stuff out about the club in the up and coming news letter, but if you have anything to ask or suggest catch myself or one of the other committee members at a session.

See you out there

Ian
