    Drive (after unloading) and on Black Mountain Peninsular. 
  • The NCA has advised that there is a triathlon on Black Mountain Peninsula,
    but Triathlon ACT does not mention it on its web site. Take care.

The ACTRA AGM was held last night and a new board elected. The new president, David Bagnall said:
“Brendon Prout is to be commended on his nine years as president of ACTRA. This
period has seen major changes in the administration of the sport in the ACT
including significant changes to the constitution and creation of the Executive
Officer position. Brendon’s contribution is therefore very significant and on
behalf of all of us l thank him for his extensive efforts.

I would also like to thank Suzie Nermutova and Rick Worboys for their efforts on
the Executive over the last 12 months. Both contributed constructively to the
administration of the sport locally.”
