2013 2014 Series

Hi all,

I'm preparing the draft format at present for the 2013 2014 Series - will hopefully have some more information up early September for a 1st October start.
Will be in touch soon.
Cheers,
Amanda

Feedback Time

I hope this weather of late has been kind to you and you are enjoying the sunny Autumn day today.

I have attached a feedback form for the series, we would really appreciate you taking some time to complete and send in to the Freepost Number at the bottom of page 2.  It is vital we receive this so we can evaluate the series and plan more effectively for future series (and use the positive feedback to help secure funding).

If you would like me to post a copy out to you then either email me or phone and I can organise.

Thanks in advance!

Keep active,
Amanda

Wet

If it is still raining heavily, we may adjust our session tonight to walking/jogging round parts of the Tri course and transition (as opposed to being on our bikes on the road).  Keep an eye on the blog and I will keep you updated.

Our final session for the series

Wow!  It is here - our final session of the series!  Well done to you!!

Tomorrow night, we will be cycling over parts of the Womens Tri course, and going over some pointers on transition (that is how to get on and off your bike effectively) for those doing the Tri on Sunday morning.  There is still time to enter if you haven't yet!!  Head to www.nelsonevents.co.nz for full info.

We will meet at 6.30pm at Branford Park, (where we met for the MTB sessions - start of the Maitai Valley). 

If you are not participating in the Tri, but would like to be involved, Averil will gladly welcome you to the crew to help out on the morning - there are various tasks involved so either email / talk to me, or email Averil direct at avewest@clear.net.nz

Over the next week I will email you a feedback form to gather your comments about how the series went.  This is really important for me to fully evaluate the series and for NCC to have solid feedback when looking at whether to run the course again - therefore definitely include the positives along with any constructives.

I have had a few people over the series talk to me about where to go from here, and how to network etc - may I suggest that you bring these ideas tomorrow night, and we head to the Sprig and Fern in Milton St for a celebratory drink and good old fashioned chat after our session.  Well deserved I say!!

See you tomorrow night,

As always, keep active,

Tonight's session

Tonight we continue our road cycling segment at the Trafalgar Park Cycle Track.  6.30pm.
Jim and Jason will be there again to lead you through different activities designed to gain confidence riding with others.

See you there.

Road Cycling this Wednesday

This week we begin our road cycling segment.  We will be stationed at the Trafalgar Park Cycle Track, so if you are arriving by car, park in the carpark that we used for the nutrition session earlier on in the series and enter Trafalgar Park by the same gates (carpark off Trafalgar St, enter it either by Trailways or from the access road by Trafalgar Park itself).

We will have Cycling Nelson club members that will take the session, led by Village Cycles guru Jim Matthews and track coach Jason Craig.  They will go over basic riding technique and how to ride confidently with others around you.  A lot of fun!  No need to have a fancy road bike, as long as it has two wheels and goes forwards, mountainbikes etc are absolutely fine.  Remember to bring your helmet too!

See you there, 6.30pm on WEDNESDAY night.

Racquet Sports this week

I am just finalising the groupings for this coming week - 'racquet' sports.
Remember, this is on Tuesday nights and I have a few spots for either Badminton or Squash remaining.  If you would like to attend the next two weeks of racquet sports, then please email me your preference of either Badminton or Squash, and I will do my best to match it for you.
Badminton is held in Richmond, and Squash at Nelson Squash Club in the city.

In the meantime, enjoy the gorgeous weather, and I will email you again soon with more info related to your session.
