General Business
1General discussion on the way the committee fits & functions in the structure - Clubs Junior Coordinators Jessie (1) and Candice (2) and Junior Committee members Kirralee & Doug
2“Proposed” Race dates and details identified. (club waits for final approvals).
We are planning to run a duathlon in late October to start the season, while there will be junior events at this event the Junior Program will officially start with a Triathlon Skills Event at the Pool in November which should prepare our younger triathletes for the coming race events. Junior Triathlons will be held with the Senior events in December at the popular Teams Triathlon, then the Aussie Day Triathlon in January and at the Carrol Scott Memorial Triathlon in February.
3While the Junior committee is planning to continue with the three development categories (Joeys and Boomers1 & 2) this summer, this season will require compliance with the new Safe Child Standards, so the junior committee is hard at work putting plans in place.

NOTE – jess to update these notes if required
Attached is a Summary of the Notes from Jessie on the first Junior Committee Meeting
Junior Meeting minutes 12/09/2024 - attendees- jessie, candice, doug and Kirralee.
- proposed dates were agreed. 26/10 duathlon, 24/11 skills day, 22/12, 26/1, 16th/2.
- skills day- could ride/ run around the river, could use the car park for bike skills, should be a fee involved.
- to make counting bike laps on race day more accurate and easier for counters, kids should say name and the lap they're on. this should be developed on skills day.
- our overall goals are to increase the number of participants and to assist with this we may look at promoting and supporting NSW All Schools triathletes and may ask young achievers like Mercedes to come and work with the kids. We could look at contacting WRAS coach Tristan Harrison to see whether he might support us.
- when taking photos, if one person does so they should ask the young person and their adult whether their photo can appear on social media.
- provide some clarification around Joey's and Boomer's and circulate via social media.
- promote upcoming junior events on social media.
In response to Mark's email
Event 1 - concerns about how this event may not be the friendliest reintroduction
Event 2 - is helping our young people to become more confident in each discipline and should be very achievable for people of any ability and experience in triathlon – extra Notes on each leg supplied
Event 3 4 & 5 – Jess to start a google doc and share it with the Junior Committee where we can share ideas about our club's adoption of the Child Safety Standards. Also require Set-up committee provide some details
