We are a community based Triathlon Club run by volunteers. None of our coaches or committee members are paid. We have grown to a membership of over 200 adults, and although our main focus is Triathlon, we are also affiliated to UK Athletics as about 40% of our members are 'just' runners. We hold 3 free, coached sessions each week, and hire the local Velopark out of our members subscriptions, so that they can train in safety. Our annual fee is only £32 which means members are insured by British Triathlon, and any surplus money is used to subsidise our annual Christmas Awards night. Members are also given free cake after the weekly sea swim, which I know is contrary to the fitness message, but it does lure people in!
