19.01.2022 CLUB CHAMPS POSTPONED TO NOVEMBER 14TH, 2020 READ THE FULL STORY HERE https://bit.ly/33zs5GR The Triathlon NSW board and staff, in addition to Elite Energ...y Events, have remained optimistic about the September 2020 Club Champs. However, recent circumstances have forced significant changes to the event in order to prioritise the health and safety of members, and the wider community in Forster. With the plans of clubs and members at the forefront of our work on this event, today we are announcing a postponement of the 2020 NSW Club Championships to November 14th, 2020. This postponement will hopefully allow for the 800 plus registered participants and volunteers, and their friends and family, to safely attend the event in Forster and enjoy a great race later this year. We extend our thanks to the Mid Coast Council who have accommodated this date change and continue to support the hosting of the event in their region. All entries for the event will be rolled over to November 14th, which will replace the Kurnell 1 race scheduled for this date. While we understand this announcement may be disappointing for some, we encourage all our members to remain positive and to exercise patience with Elite Energy and all commercial entities who deliver events in NSW during this uncertain time. #NSWclubchamps #clubchamps2020 #tnsw #triathlonnsw

19.01.2022 LETTER FROM THE CEO: 2020 CLUB CHAMPS UPDATE "We recently met with the Mid Coast Council who remain supportive of the event, should it be possible. Together w...ith EE Events, we subsequently submitted a detailed document to NSW Health on how we plan to deliver the event in a COVID-safe manner. Naturally the safety of our members will always come first. It goes without saying that the event will only occur if it’s been approved by NSW Health, and we currently await their feedback and answers. Our goal is to make a decision within the next 2 weeks, or sooner, as soon as we receive a reply from NSW Health. This will ensure our clubs and members are able to avoid unnecessary and additional expenses being incurred." READ THE FULL LETTER HERE https://bit.ly/2P4kIyI Elite Energy Events

16.01.2022 Triathlon joins the Western Region Academy of Sport (WRAS) as a targeted sport for their Lone Star Program in 2020 The Lone Star Program is tailored for athle...tes who do not currently have access to a WRAS program for their sport. TNSW & WRAS are working together to re-introduce a full Triathlon Program in future years. In the interim, the initiative by the WRAS to offer a Lone Star program is a welcome boost to this process. This region is ripe to capitalise on the growing triathlon community and providing further development opportunities our Youth & Juniors in this region is exciting! Athletes must be turning 15-18 years of age in 2021 to apply for the program. These scholarships are designed to assist pre-elite youth athletes in any sport, who are living or attending school in the western region. The WRAS catchment includes the following council areas - Bathurst Regional, Bland, Blayney, Cabonne, Cowra, Dubbo Regional, Forbes, Gilgandra, Hilltops, Lachlan, Lithgow, Mid-Western Regional, Narromine, Oberon, Orange, Parkes and Weddin.

15.01.2022 We postponed the breaking of the ice until the October event but one family decided to jump in still. Brrrrr

15.01.2022 With a very high chance of wet weather predicted for this coming Saturday and Sunday the Club Committee have decided to postpone this Sunday's Duathlon and offical Breaking of the Ice to the following Sunday. We look forward to seeing you all on Sunday 25th October.

14.01.2022 Change of AGM date and venue The recent changes to the NSW Government Public Health Order will not allow our AGM to go ahead as planned. The new date and venue are:... Sunday 26th July at 3.30 at the Robertson Park Rotunda Presentations will be deferred to a date later in the year due to the predicted inclement weather and covid restrictions. Unfortuantely no more than 20 people are allowed to gather outside in a public place which means we cannot allow families to attend. The AGM and Election of Office Bearers is expected to last no longer than 30 minutes. . There will be some positions vacant on the 2020/2021 committee so please consider joining. The benefit to our community far outweighs the commitment of being involved in the committee. We hope to see you there!

13.01.2022 Happy Father's Day! Wishing all the dads in our triathlon community, participants, officials, volunteers and supporters an awesome Fathers Day. Thank you for being part of our triathlon family

10.01.2022 Congratulations to Tom Tudor and Kaitlyn Hinrichsen on their selection in the Triathlon NSW 2020/2021 Emerging Talent Squad. Well done Piranhas.

10.01.2022 Two new Life Members: Megan Goodwin and Phil Tudor Two nominations were received and accepted for 'Life Members' at the recent AGM. Megan Goodwin:... Megan is a huge factor in our Club's success over the last decade. Listed below are on some of those things: Season 14/15 Secretary; Season 14/15 Club person of the year; Season 15/16 Treasurer, in handover from Dan Miller; Season 15/16 represented Australia in World Duathlon champs in Adelaide; May 2018 in National Volunteers Week, of all the volunteers across our sport in Australia, Megan was chosen by Triathlon Australia to be recognised on their social media for her awesome triathlon support; Season 18/19 Award from Life Members, among many other things. What she does: in 3 parts: race day, administrator and governance through the year, and personal performance Race day for the club Volunteer at every event of OTC - Friendly face at registration before our events; If not competing, rowdy and conspicuous supporter during our events - in her trademark orange plats, hat and skirt; Chief cheerleader and motivator often heard yelling 'Get your butt moving ....!'; Timekeeper at the end of our events and then pack up; Publisher of result posts after our events; And if not competing, for non Orange events, she is the keenest supporter, promoter, organiser for all events in town, out of town, interclub, qualifying events, club champs, world champs. Administration and governance for the club Role as long term Treasurer of our club - Long term committee member and volunteer of a huge amount of hours; massive work with grants, registering GST and controlling grant funds for recent projects and getting financial books ready for audit; organises supporter kits and is author of the annual Port Macquarie Ironman and 70.3 Athlete and Supporter guide which greatly received by all Club members who attend this event. Personal performance On the performance front, Megan has some residual symptoms from Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis which caused damage to the central nervous system, causing her to need to take great care not to raise her core temperature. Megan still gets into her events, and for hot ones, wears an her ice vest. There's times she can't help herself and her core temperature limits get too high. There have been times when she has been helped out of the pool after a swim set. She is a warrior with a huge heart and never gives up. Conclusion Megan is and has been an outstanding servant of our Club and its members and a wonderful member of the Orange community. "Stuff" happens when Megan is involved - she is a real doer. Administrator, auditor, author, cheerleader, marshall, motivator, publisher, registrar, timekeeper, treasurer and triathlete, there are a huge number of hats she wears. Her distinguished service to our Club has earned her the title of life member #3 of Orange Triathlon Club.
