If you have any items to be added, please email the
20 Dec 05 - Change
of Chairman. Gp Capt Fred
Harbottle - the 'Grandfather' of RAF Tri is soon to step down
as Chairman due to an overseas posting. He will be sadly
missed. A replacement is currently under consideration
by the Sports Board and will be announced soon.
20
Dec 05 - Change of Kit Manager.
Steve Warner has given his notice
that he would like to stand down as Kit Manager.
This will be a sad loss to RAF Tri as he has done a magnificent
job over the last 3 years. Steve's job has been one
of the most demanding and the most frustrating in the committee.
He has worked tirelessly for us all and I'm sure most of us
have benefited from his Saucony liaison. Thanks Steve.
Martin Ball has stepped
forward to offer to be the replacement. His offer
has been provisionally accepted but it is subject to the next
AGM. Steve will continue to accept Saucony offers up
to Christmas and Martin will take over in the new year.
Martin will be taking the kit raftri.org.uk email address
wef 6 Jan 06.
If
anyone else would like to volunteer for a committee post in
the future, please drop an email to the Pete Daulby at commsdirector
raftri.org.uk
20 Dec 05

need maximum attendance at the AGM. Please, please,
please do all you can to be there. You can claim for
your travel on 1771s (please share transport with others from
your unit) and there is plenty of accomodation available.
There are a number of major changes to the way RAF Tri does

the RAF Lottery has bought for us - more details to follow

Triathlon Standard Distance Championships/Inter-Service Selection
The RAF Triathlon
Standard Distance Championships and selection event for the
Inter-Service Triathlon will be held once again at the Dambuster
Triathlon, Rutland Water on Sat 24 June 2006. Centrally located,
this was a great event last year with 35 RAF Triathletes taking
part. As it is not a World Championship Qualifier next year,
there should not be as great a rush for places, so we want
to make it the biggest yet - 50 RAF Triathletes is our aim.
Providing we get sufficient numbers, we should also get our
own wave. If you've never done an open water race, this will
be ideal for you, with loads of RAF Triathletes to give encouragement.
Plus, you'll get the race entry fee back and travel can be
claimed. And for the chaps, once again, the race will be used
to determine selection for the Inter-Services Triathlon. Entries
are not open yet, but keep an eye out on
www.transitionsport.com.

stuff!
I have sent a number of selection
letters to individuals attending the RAF Triathlon Tour 06.
The purpose of these letters is to ensure that the superiors
of the 'tourists' are aware of the event and, therefore, sanction
time off for their staff. Any 'tourists' still requiring a
selection letter should e-mail their request to Mark
Saggers at sec raftri.org.uk.
