The club committee has decided that one of the main objectives for 24/7 in 2017 will be the development of the Junior section of the club.
For this to work we need members to step up and put forward their name to set up a committee and get this up and running. A few people have already approached the committee and put their names forward but we need as many people volunteering their help to ensure this will be a success.
With this in mind the committee will also be organizing a Child protection course in the coming weeks.
Triathlon has seen a huge increase in popularity in the last few years and the club believes this is the perfect time to get this structure in place and look after our future star triathletes.
Anyone interested and willing to get involved please contact Martin Donnelly, Nick Fowell or Pauric Kelly.
