Hello OxfordTri family
I hope that you have had a great week. This intro is going to be very quick due to the fact I have five mins till the deadline for the emails to go out tonight. There’s lots in this email and especially two areas where we’d really love to hear your thoughts and views. Firstly, about a date for our exciting OxfordTri Members night and then secondly we’re after some feedback on our Wednesday night coached swims at Radley.
Next week is also our End of Season Awards Dinner so I’m just warning you now the chances of me doing the newsletter on the Friday night are slim! For those coming I can’t wait to see you there and for anyone that couldn’t make it do keep your eyes on Facebook as I hear there are already some after party plans in action.
Have a great weekend.
God Bless
Craig
Member of the Month – Sean Nicolle
You read about his Kona exploits last week but there is so much more to Sean than an amazing adventure on the Big Island, hence why we are delighted to share that he has been selected as our Member of the Month for October.
Sean leads up our amazing coaching team here at the club and is a real source of support and help for all of our coaches. Alongside coaching and supporting others Sean has continued to compete at an exceptionally high amateur level with some incredible results even just this year. Anyone who has been to one of our sessions I’m sure will agree Seans passion for the sport and helping others improved is infectious. As a club we are so very lucky to have him. Sean thanks so much from everyone at OxfordTri for being part of our amazing club!
OxfordTri Members Evening More Info and January Date Help
As shared during the AGM in October we are excited to be doing something a little different this year with an OxfordTri Members Evening taking place in January. During the evening we are going to be sharing more information about our new OxfordTri Session Plan which will underpin all of the session that we run as a club. We’ll also be talking about the club champs and have some OxfordTri Kit on sale. Finally, we are hoping to have a special guest who will share stories from their sporting adventures. Oh and did we mention they’ll be pizza!
To enable as many members to attend we are coming out to you with some dates to help us ensure this, please select all dates/times which you think you’d be able to attend. The event will be in person somewhere local to Oxford. Thanks in advance!

Wednesday Night Coached Swim Attendance
During our committee meeting on Monday we discussed attendances at our Wednesday night coached swims which, have been lower than expected. The session being on average just under 36% full for the past month. As a result we are keen to highlight firstly how great a session this is, and then secondly to give members an opportunity to share if there’s anything we can do as a club to make this session more engaging.
If you have any thoughts on your own experience of the session or ideas on how we can make it more engaging please share them – HERE (Thanks in advance!)
OxfordTri Goes Cross-Country – 2024/25 Season
