Welome to season 2023-24 for Orange Triathlon Club (OTC)
Hello Piranhas and welcome to season 2023/24!
We are a month out from our first event of the season and on behalf of the Orange Tri Club committee want our members to get their diaries out and put in holders for a bumper set of events for the coming season. More details to come for each of these.
If you are someone umming and aahing about whether to join, you just need to see this impressive list of events below to make your decision a yes and be a part of season 23/24. Here’s the link to join Triathlon Australia and our Orange Triathlon Club. New members get an OTC swim cap and OTC towel – I wear mine (the cap not the towel) every Mon and Fri at 5:30am as I get beaten up figuratively by some damn fine swimmers. The benefits of membership are numerous – one of these is that as a TA and OTC member you don’t pay for any of these events, and that includes the interclubs hosted by our friends in Mudgee, Bathurst and Dubbo.
The only exception to the list is if you are over 23 then you won’t be able to participate in the Juniors Weekend. But we’d love your help as a volunteer at this event as it is the primary income producer for our club which we reinvest into our terrific equipment and facilities.
Thanks, Dave
President, on behalf of OTC committee
