Welcome to your monthly newsletter.

It was glorious to see so many HTC-ers out representing today at the annual De Castella Fun Run. Raising money for mental health is a great cause run by our very own Deeks and a special shoutout to all those who volunteered for the event.

Following our AGM earlier this month I would like to congratulate the new committee:
Presidant: Peter Kormendy
Vice President: Dave Browne
Tresurer: Nicki Scriven
Secretary: Sarah Treloar
General: Will Brack, Kaz Chau, Ana Silva, Liz Moore, Sam Zeps

I am personally really excited to see what this talented group of individuals can do to continue to push our club towards pre-COVID glory. As such we are streamlining our communication methods to ensure all members are getting real-time information and perhaps even more importantly sharing their success and photos with the HTC community. The changes are as follows:

  • The new updated newsletter will be monthly to share with the entire HTC community (past and present) updates as well as give all past members FOMO.
  • Instagram will be heavily engaged to share real-time photos of training, racing, and the club out and about doing what they love. Please tag #hawthorntriclub on your posts so we can reshare.
  • The Facebook group will be limited to the current members who financially support our club. We will advertise both official and ad-hoc training and club events but these will be restricted to members only.
  • An updated website to assist both new and current members.

Try A Tri 
We are back to offer Try A Tri in time for the first 2XU race of the season. If you have any friends, family, or colleagues who would like to join, please send them to our website to sign up.
