Annual General Meeting – 4th August 2015
Hello to all Orange Cycle and Triathlon Club Members and welcome to the 2015-2016 season.
This year marks 25 years for OCTC with the club first affiliated in 1991. I have enjoyed hearing stories from the early days when only a handful of brave souls “raced” swimming across the lake, setting up transition behind their cars and navigating picnic rugs, games of cricket and bbq’s as they ran around the lake. We thank those that came before us and look forward to a prosperous future for OCTC. The club has grown in number and stature in the 25 years and we will exceed 200 members this season.
The upcoming season will be our biggest yet and a full race calendar will be released next week. As well as our monthly club race and interclub competition we have added club training days, an aquathon series, open water swim series and information nights.
This year the club has set a goal for the State Club Championships held in Forster in May 2016. Save the date and help us show everyone how strong the “Piranha’s” really are!
