Club Awards 2024

The 247 club committee are busy planning the club awards night. Watch this space for the date for the awards night. To be considered in the mix for an award club members are asked to ensure that their races this year are known to the committee. The weekly club reports are used to collect this information and as the main basis for deciding the winners. There are ”a few people” that took part in races and events that never sent on details to the club PRO (or where they didn’t provide ranking in a race). You have until August 31st to get that past information to us. Those that are taking part in events in the next few months are asked to ensure that you text the club PRO with this information. If you wish your sporting endeavors to be included, you need to email or text the club PRO with your photos, times, event details by 5pm each Sunday.

Information we need from you:

Race Name/ Type of Race / Time Completed in / Age Category Placing/ Overall Placing/ National series or Camp/ Ironman/ Challenge event?

And a lovely picture 🙂

If you are not in – you cant win !!
