Junior
Section End of Season Social. On
the 15th of December the junior section of the triathlon
club had their first social event. They went down to the Big Apple at
Junction 1 retail park for two classic games of bowling and some food.
It was a popular event as forty-one people attended covering six lanes
in total. Each lane consisted of mixed abilities with triathlon
members and their families enjoying the games of bowling. Everyone had
lots of fun and they definitely want to have another outing in the near
future. At the end of the games, the results showed that the total
points scorer for the children was Josh Aldous with 227 points
and Rob Lowe, 266 points, being the top scorer for the adults. Ian
managed to take pictures of everyone in each lane and overall the
junior section of the club had a brilliant afternoon out! (Steph
Collins) |
