Dear OTTC Members,

The club is transitioning to a fee based club effective Nov 1. As a paying member you'll receive a long list of benefits to include a full calendar of weekly workouts, clinics and coaching sessions. Most of these events will be free to paying members. Those who wish to remain part of the social site "Meetup" may attend individual training sessions for a small fee. Happy hours are of course open to everyone. To become a full member of OTTC visit our main site www.ottc.org and click on "Join Us." Or you can always sign up at any of our Happy Hour events. The introductory annual fee is only $55.00 for the first 100 to sign up. The membership fee will then be $65.00 annually. I will post a calendar of workouts available to paying members on the www.ottc.org site. These workouts are unique to those paying members but again we may offer some of these to the "Meetup" social site for an additional fee. The calendar will be available by mid November.

So what can you expect for your annual membership fee? At least three weekly workouts. One monthly clinic. OTTC will attend 4 to 7 races as a team along with our traveling tent. Discounts at many local merchants with your OTTC membership card - these discounts will no longer be available to the "Meetup" members. Training plans for varying triathlon distances. Club sponsored happy hours at King Street Blues.

We want to hear from you. If you have ideas or something you'd like to see your club offer, please let us know. We're also looking for volunteers. So, if you've always wanted to lead workouts, clinics or do some coaching, please let me know.

Lastly, I'm placing an order for dry fit technical shirts. I expect delivery in about 5 weeks. Shirts will be available at our Happy Hour events and at some of our sponsor's stores. More details to come.

Don't wait, go to www.ottc.org and sign up today.

Cheers,

Darryel
