Overcast skies again provided perfect racing conditions for the 2015 Joe Kelly Memorial team event. Twinnies welcomed again our favourite Canadian ‘Laura Kelly’ and had several members had Laura bushwalking, riding & swimming as pre event training. Kev B did a great job sorting the 22 teams of all combinations! Di Lance left the registration desk to don the bike kit with Laura Kelly swimming & Anthony Newman running. 35 points to all for the event!
Merry Christmas to all and have a safe and enjoyable holiday season!
Word has it the number 1 bike train Craig, Tracey, Des and Clive had everyone else left in their dust. Another stand out performance was Freya Curnow in the swim leg. Certainly a star in the future. It was great to see so many intermediates competing too.
It was a special day to honour ‘Smokin Jo’ and it was so wonderful for the club to unite in a fun event with Laura and her Aussie tri mates! A magnificent breakfast sponsored by Laura was our first hot and cold breki for the year. Our elder statesmen, KB, Lancey, Johnny & Rob were master chefs of the hot bbq. Wazza did well with the variety of sausages for all whilst Lisa & Vicki organised the cold spread. Well done to all!

An extra large birthday cake was required to celebrate the major milestones for Margie’s 70th, Val’s 60th & Gerard’s upcoming 50th. 180 years in total …..there must be some great stories to be told. Happy birthday to all!
