Positioned on the beachfront, the club is easily accessible by car or public transport. Bayside currently has a membership base of over 100 members and a history dating back 20+ years. Bayside Tri Club has always been extremely community focused with strong representation at the various metropolitan sprint-distance races held throughout the summer. Bilbys welcomes all Bayside members visiting Canberra to attend our training sessions, and use our tent on race day and join in any post race celebrations. text/html 2012-02-03T15:36:50+01:00 http://bilbys.org/joomla http://bilbys.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=711&Itemid=2 Bilbys have a new swim squad starting next week and it's especially for less confident swimmers. The squad will initially run for 12 weeks and the aim of this squad is to provide a slower group for people who feel they need some extra coaching to help them transition into one of the regular Bilbys squad. The details of the squad are... Location: Civic Olympic Pool Day: Thursdays, beginning on 9 February 2012 Time: 7pm to 8.30pm Coach: Geoff Hare The cost of the squad is $3 for Bilbys members and $5 for non members. You will need to pay the pool entry fee as per usual. Please do not go to this swim squad if you are a confident swimmer. Instead, join one of the regular Bilbys swim squads. Details on the regular squads can be found here - https://bilbys.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content task=section id=9 Itemid=64 text/html 2012-01-23T10:52:19+01:00 http://bilbys.org/joomla http://bilbys.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=706&Itemid=2 Over the past few years we have been lucky enough to have someone volunteer to take the Bilbys tent up to Huskisson for the tri festival. It has been very much appreciated by Bilbys participating up there. If you are able to assist with this please let me know - Jess Faulks (mailto:erin.barry@bilbys.org). Otherwise we will just take the banner up and make that a central meeting point for people. text/html 2012-01-11T17:59:35+01:00 http://bilbys.org/joomla http://bilbys.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=702&Itemid=2 As of next Tuesday (17 Jan 2012) running will be back at Dickson playing fields from 6pm -7.30pm.

Club members have a joint responsibility for the following:Helping to put up the tent (you generally need 4 people)Ensuring the tent is secure (eg the ropes are used to secure the tent - it will not be a good look if the tent is blown away and hits someone and I imagine there will be serious implications for the club if an incident did occur)Helping to pull the tent down at the end of the event. Please don't assume 'someone else' is going to do this. You generally need a few people to do this, and to help carry it to someone's car. Double checking that someone is taking it home. This is generally organised, but miscommunication can happen so it is always good to check. text/html 2011-12-15T22:19:18+01:00 http://bilbys.org/joomla http://bilbys.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=690&Itemid=2 text/html 2011-12-15T10:23:37+01:00 http://bilbys.org/joomla http://bilbys.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=688&Itemid=2 From the TACT website:DECEMBER FESTIVAL NOTICE:TRIATHLONS ARE ON THIS WEEKEND.
