Training is still important even though the season has finished.  It will build on your fitness level, improve strength and stamina and give us a head start on all the others next season.

 

Paddles

There will be a deposit of £27 for all new paddles issued.  Cheques should be undated and will only be cashed if the paddle is not returned at the end of the season or is broken.

 

23rd October- Batchworth Triathlon

Rickmansworth Sailing Club, Troy Lake, Rickmansworth - early start to be advised.  We have minibuses booked, so we will meet at the Parade Ground in Eton on Saturday morning.

The day will consist of a 2.5 mile Mountain Bike Relay where five members will each cycle 2.5 miles around a road/dirt track course in a relay style race.  This is then followed by 1 mile running relay, where again five members will each run 1 mile in relay style.  The day is completed by a 5km Dragon Boat Race.

We need at least 19 members to take part including 5 women.  Some of you have already indicated that you want to do the cycling/running, but double check with Paul O. It should be a great day.

There is an End of Season Ball afterwards held in the Golf Club.  If you want to attend, please let Paul or Cass know.

 

6th November 1999 - Fireworks & Bonfire Night

There are still tickets to be sold.  This is the first time we have held something like this - spectacular fireworks display, bonfire, hot food and lots of drink - all for £10.00.  Children are free and will each get a toffee apple.

There is a competition for the kids - the best Guy Forks gets burnt on the fire!!

We have tried to undertake all the necessary safety precautions.  There will be a barrier around the bonfire to keep the kids (of all ages!) at a safe distance.  There will be fire extinguishers, first aid kit etc.

It should be a great night for both adults and kids, so bring your family and friends - the more people, the better the fireworks.

Tickets available from Jo on 01628 602832 - please get your tickets before 20th October.
