Hello Dia, not at all! We do try to welcome new people at club sessions, but sometimes everyone rushes in at the last minute and forgets to do so. I hope you were more successful balancing on the wretched ball than I was! I'll be away leading the Lanzarote training camp over next week, but do keep coming to club sessions and chatting to people. The club really is very friendly and members will be only too keen to help you find your way. A couple of things for your diary: Crystal Palace sprint tri on May 12 is a good first triathlon and there will be loads of WR people doing it (I think there are still places available); Windrush Aquathlon on June 30 at the lido/Brockwell Park is the event that we host and new members are able to participate in. Check out the posts on the Forum. It is a fun event and all standards enter, so don't be shy. See you soon, Charles
