The new Open Water Swimming venue is at Manor Park Sailing Club, Kings Bromley, Staffordshire. After a meeting with the Manor Park Sailing Club representatives it has been decided that due to the popularity and amount of people swimming and using the car park we now have to change the time that we use the OW facilities on Saturdays. This is because we are using the parking spaces required by the Sailing Club and the Anglers which use the club on Saturday mornings but normally depart by 12:45pm. The Tuesday time will not change.
The new time for Saturdays is now 1pm until 2:30pm. This will start on Saturday 19th June 2010.
A member of the 'Meynell Valley Hunter Triathlon Club' committee will attend every 'Official' MVH training session so, please make yourself known to any member of the committee/staff on arrival at any of our training sessions. We will answer any of your questions about the club, triathlon or the training sessions.
