Attendance
Please note that there are minimum attendances for each session, with some sessions having specific requirements for committee members to attend.  You are welcome to send more than the minimum requirement if you would like, especially for the second day where you will be working as a committee to set club objectives for the coming year.

If you are unable or find a replacement to attend then please contact me in plenty of time or we will count this as non-attendance and you will lose your kit sponsorship.

Want a head start?
If you want to get a head start on some of the material that we’ll be covering in Club Conference then take a look at the 2011-12 Committee Handbook. Over the course of the summer an updated handbook will be released online, with the hard copies being given out at the Sports Fair Briefing in September.

Tim Smith has sent out an email with all the details for the night.  If you have yet to receive this then please contact Tim via email ASAP.

I would just like to echo one of Tim’s points about respect for awards.  A lot of effort has been put in by Tim to ensure that the presentations are more visible than they have ever been so there should be no chance of tables not being able to know what is happening on stage.

With this in mind, please respect the awards and the nominees by keeping quiet during the announcements.

If you want to be in with a chance to win the £50 Bullring voucher then make sure you send your completed form to Gary Yates by June 7th via:  g.p.yates@bham.ac.uk

Winners of the vouchers will be announced at Club Conference.

Please let Catherine know if you are interested in running a programme BEFORE Club Conference so that she can talk to you during this time. She can be contacted on c.a.adams@bham.ac.uk.

Following an outstanding Modern Biathlon in March, Triathlon sent strong teams to their two Championships despite them falling within exam periods. At the Sprint (750m swim, 25km cycle, 5km run) the women came away with Team Silver.

The real success story came in the Standard distance race comprising a 1,500m swim, 40km cycle and 10km run. The event took place in Nottingham with temperatures reaching a scorching 29C during the run. The club came away with individual silver for scholar Emily McLoughlin; team silver for the Men and team gold for the Women.

Over the course of the year the club have seen a huge 45% improvement in BUCS points thanks to results such as these.
