2012 Membership

Dear Member/Guest
May I first of all wish you a belated Happy New Year and trust you're now well into your 2012 preparations for another rewarding year in Triathlon.

I am now posting in connection with the 2012 Membership fees for Olympian Triathlon Club. I have attached a word document setting out the Membership categories for the forthcoming year. These are essentially broken down into four groups:

(i) Competing Members using the swimming facilities at Olympia Leisure Centre;
(ii) Competing Members not using the swimming facilities at Olympia Leisure Centre;
(iii) Student Members - ie those currently in full time education; and,
(iv) Junior Members - ie those who are 19 years old or younger as at the 31st December 2012.

I am happy to announce that after a solid 2011 Membership year we've managed to keep our fees at the same level as the 2011 rates, despite forecasted increases in both our pool hire and coaching costs. Once again the Club Committee are confident that the fee payable for the facilities provided is amongst the most competitive in the North of Ireland.

However recognising the current financial burden for many Members in paying such an amount at this time, the Club Committee have again offered alternative Membership options for this year.

As can be seen from the attached fee circular, it is possible for Members to avail of a non-swim Membership facility, only paying for each of the swim sessions they attend. In addition to the annual non-swim Membership fee of £40, a further swim session fee of £4 will be charged for each swim session attended thereafter ie this would be more economical for those Members who swim two sessions per month or less.

Members wishing to renew their Membership for 2012 should complete the attached Membership Renewal form and forward it to the Club Membership Secretary, Tom Mitchell, as shown in the attached form. Membership fees are due and payable at the same time, and at the very latest, by Tuesday 31st January 2012. After this time Members with unpaid fees cannot be admitted to any further Club sessions.
Members should ensure they also have renewed their Triathlon Ireland membership via the Triathlon Ireland website as shown below. Unfortunately Members not registered with Triathlon Ireland are not insured to take part in Club Training sessions.

I trust the above is fairly clear and self-explanatory. However, should you have questions in connection with the same, please do not hesitate to contact myself or Tom Mitchell.
