Happy (belated) New Year! Thank you to all those who offered their support at the start of the year following our appeal for new committee members and coaches. It is great to hear that the club means so much, to so many.
I am pleased to say we have been able to form a new committee and are putting in place plans to train more Coaches & Tri Activators. This influx of new ideas should give the club a fresh burst of momentum for 2019.
We hope to confirm details of the club AGM and a Members Survey very shortly and look forward to getting everyone’s input into what you want to see from the Titan Triathlon Club in 2019 and beyond!
