Neil Drury - Secretary and Club Kit Organiser
Triathlon is a relatively new sport for me, I've done all three of the sports separately to various levels and at various times of my life but tying them together came when I thought I ought to get on and do an IronMan before I couldn't. That was a few years ago now and I haven't looked back since, what a sport!
I've done two IronMan events (Bolton and Tenby), many middle distance, and too many Olympic and sprint distance events to count as my finisher medal collection will attest to. A smattering of age group wins along the way, great company from the club and competitors, and (thankfully) a really understanding and supportive wife and three kids.
Mark Robson - Treasurer
