This will not only encourage members to be in the Club’s team to defend the title (again) but it also allows for everyone to drop their worst result .i.e only the best 5 from the 6 race series will count.

Forum and New Email Management
One of the major initiatives for the club is to more effectively join our members together. Members who live close to each other want to train together. Members racing similar distances want to train and learn from each other. Members of similar experience want to share experiences.
Our website now has its very own forum. Click on the forum tab in the left hand menu to sign up. Follow the prompts to join mySport and you're up and running.
Over the next little while we'll also be using the website to manage email groups - so click on the myCommunity tab and sign up for on line communication.
