Report

Jonathan Briggs welcomed a packed auditorium to the Forum, venue for Tri-Anglia Triathlon Club's AGM.

Following the trend set last year Jonathan used a metaphor/simile to describe what being a member of Tri-Anglia means: this year being something that is cool and which we all love - hence the great turn out on the night. Doing something that you love tends to mean that you get good at it and the club is very proud to have had representation in over 12 national and international championships covering a wide range of triathlon, duathlons and other related sports. The club is not just about the "elite" and we also celebrate those personal achievements - whether that be a first triathlon or Ironman; as well as success in events such as our club's fastest time in the Round Norfolk Relay, high team positions in the City of Norwich Half Marathon, and winners in the Bungay marathon and half marathon - to name a few.

As well as individuals' success in events and the camaraderie enjoyed during training, the club has also done well with its own events - making a positive financial contribution to the club. This financial foothold will enable us to do more for our members in the future. This success is down to the hard work of many volunteers and marshals as well as the club committee and co-optees.

As a new committee is voted in three members are not standing for re-election and Jonathan thanked, on behalf of the club, Clare Cole, Penny Edwards, Jackie Richards and Darryl Davis for their fine support. The attendees of the AGM acknowledged the efforts of all those who have helped the club throughout 2009 and showed their appreciation. The formal part of the AGM then was transacted followed by the Club's annual awards and a social gathering, which included pizza and Ronaldo's fine ice cream.
