1 Sep 06 - Race Series Feedback.
This has been one of the most successful seasons RAFTri has
enjoyed in many years, however, we are keen to improve things
still further. The RAF Race Series in particular has gone
from strength to strength but I am sure that whether a novice
or a seasoned athlete there were aspects of the Series that
can still be improved to make the races even better. To that
end please e-mail me racedirector@raftri.org.uk ,constructive
comments or suggestions and I will ensure that the Race Series
team factor it in to the planning for next year. The committee
needs your input as they are your races to enjoy and develop.
Feedback on entry method, cost, number of events, locations,
size, organization would all be great. Ta

3 Aug 06 - 2007 Long Distance Tour.
There has been a lot of forum traffic on this subject. To
clarify matters...
Ironman Nice will be the 2007 RAF Triathlon Long Distance
Tour. There will be 12 slots available. Individuals are responsible
for entering the event. Once entry has been confirmed contact
the RAF Tri Sec and register your intention to attend the
tour. Last year there were still places available for IM Nice
after Christmas. The financial aspects of the tour will be
formulated as planning proceeds. However, funding subsidies
should be available for travel. Additionally, individual units
should be able to provide personnel with a level of financial
support (unit OIC Triathlon Clubs should include entry fees
for IM Nice when bidding for funds in October). Please ring
the under-worked sec should anyone need further details!

6 Jul 06 - Inter-Services Team:
The IS
team is now selected but I am still awaiting availability
confirmation from Chris M, Steve C, Ed H, Sticky, Dale, Andy
Fisher, Dawn Akyildiz, Rebecca Garrett, Scott L, Richard Swallow
and Dom Sanderson. In addition, for those whose Service Number
and DOB is not below, I do not have it, so please send to
me ASAP (Lucy, I just need your DOB).
Finally, we have booked a meal at an Italian in Blandford
on the Tuesday night. So that I can arrange meals with the
restaurant, I will be sending out menus to you in the next
week or so and will need to know what you want to eat. The
meal should not cost you anything, but if we overspend the
allotted amount, you may need to contribute a small number
of pounds sterling! This will be an opportunity for the team
to meet up, bond and make the event more of an occasion. Attendance
at the meal is part of your commitment to the RAF Team. However,
if there are particular reasons why you can't make the meal,
please let me know. [TEAM

4 Jul 06 - Calling Over 60s - The
Generation Game: [WM: A message from
the BBC - fancy pitting yourself against a team of 16 year
olds?]
Dear All,
I wonder if you can help as I am looking for contributors
to take part in a new BBC Programme.
We are looking for contributors who would like to take part
in a BBC programme. The programme 'The Generation Game' (working
title) for BBC ONE is a factual programme aiming to highlight
the lifestyles of two different generations, in relation to
health, diet, exercise and general health being. The programme
will put two teams through fun and exciting challenges, such
as swimming, cycling, running, which will test their fitness.
The two teams will be six 16years olds and six 60 - 70 year
olds who will compete against each other to win the title
of the fittest generation.
I will be looking after the 60 - 70years old team members
and wondered if you know of any people from this age group
who have taken part in the Triathlon and would love to take
part in this challenge. We are looking for a variety of people
within the 60- 70year old age group, they do not necessarily
have to be very fit, as long as they are willing to give it
a try and have a challenging streak in them, as it would be
a fun event. We are working against a tight schedule and are
looking to audition on 14th July and start filming on 25th
& 26th July so any help in circulating the attached
advert would be much appreciated.
Any questions please do call me on the phone number below.
Thank you for your help.

3 Jul 06 - Best RAF Sports Assn:
Prize Recipient...
The vote is now complete and the winner
is Brad Goggin, our coaching guru. Congratulations.
You may or may not be aware of the prize that RAF Triathlon
received at the recent RAF Sports Board Formal Dinner. RAF
Triathlon were bestowed the honour of being the best RAF Sports
association. We were awarded this prize due to our pro-active
approach to our sport, our achievements by our elite triathletes
and our committment to grass roots level triathlon. The prize
is one week bed and breakfast for 2 at the new sports complex
at Paphos in Cyprus. The recipient of the prize will have
to report back to the RAF Sports Board to provide details
of the complex.
This is a great prize! However, who should receive it! The
committee agreed that there were a number of worthy individuals
who could recive the prize, but we were mindful that we had
to be fair to everyone. Therefore, we are asking the RAF Tri
membership to vote for an individual to receive the prize.
The following method is to be employed:
- Each member has one vote.
- Votes will be collated by RAF Tri Sec by email or telephone.
- Votes are to be submitted by 31 Jul 06.
In the event of a tie, the names will be put into a 'hat'
and drawn at random. Should an individual not wish to receive
the prize, the individual with the next highest number of
votes will be offered the prize. It is hoped that as many
RAF Tri members as possible will take part in this. Any queries,
please contact the Sec.
