Windrush Aquathlon - Bigs Thanks / The future?

Hi everyone,

Just to echo the whatsapp message thank you to all the club members that donated their Sunday morning to make the 8th Aquathlon a success. Without your support this awesome day wouldn't happen. It's great to give back to the community and put Windrush on the map. The feedback was positive from everyone that took part and a big part of it was the positivity of the marshals.

A big separate thanks for Dave Sanders for getting the sponsors onboard; Ben Dolman for being my right hand support and finally Adam for having to deal with the angry mob waiting to get in for a swim on Sunday.

As you know the 2019 was my last event, I've held the role of Race Director for 3 years and volunteer organiser for a further 1. It's been a roller coaster over the past 4 years but my other commitments have me stretched so I can't give it the attention it deserves. At the end of this committee period (October) I will officially resign from the role.

If you want to pick up the reigns please let me know asap. Planning starts pretty much straight away (or rather from October) so time is of the essence. If you are organised, a forward planner, able to commit to the role at least a couple of years and enjoy paperwork (the council and BTF love it) please step forward. You'll get a handover with a 'how to guide' that you can throw out the window if you want and the warm fuzzy feeling knowing you're helping others.

Will 2019 be the last one? Who knows but it's been a pretty epic 8 years either way.

Thanks,

Rory

Thank you Rory for being a fantastic Aquathlon director for the past three years. The commitment of the WR volunteers make it a success but only because they have an inspiring race director and an excellent plan to follow thanks to all your hard work. Bravo.

Thank you so much Rory for all you have done for the race. You've worked so hard, as have your team, and I'm so proud of what you achieved to make the race so wonderful each year with improvements each time. I really hope someone in the club can continue our legacy for more years to come :-)

Thanks Charles and Laura. Means a lot to hear this :)
