JERSEY TRIATHLON COMMONWEALTH
BULLETIN NO 005– UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2016
This bulletin is following the Commonwealth Games
Association meeting 13 Sept and ahead of the Performance Pathway Meetings
discussed in the last bulletin and emailed to all athletes,
Reminder: The Commonwealth Games Association have set aside Thursday 13th Oct, Fri 14th,
Sat 15th, Sun 16th, Mon 17th, Tues 18th and Wed 19th for meetings with
the athletes + team manager(s)
PERFORMANCE PATHWAY MEETINGS
The main points The Commonwealth Games Association hope to cover are:
1. Review of log books
and of 2016 so far
2. CGAJ support
programmes
3. Look ahead to the
next 12 months
4. Discuss ideas
specific to the games, (travel dates, training, competition etc.)
5. Any Other Business
It would be ideal if all the Jersey Commonwealth Hopefuls
could come to ONE meeting so that we are all co-ordinated and share and
understand the same messages. I think it will be important that we are all
together – including Sports Officer, Vaughan Robinson and myself as Team
Manager.
See
Can I suggest we try to do this after
work (after 5:30pm ) on Thursday 13th Oct
CHANGES IN RACE, SELECTION AND
CRITERIA
This has been me mentioned in Bulletin No3. There is a
meeting with Commonwealth Games Association on Friday 16th September when we
hope to FINALISE Race, Selection And Criteria. We will then publish shortly
after.
Team Relay information
is still unknown but the
Commonwealth Games Association hope to find out soon.
Note that the Commonwealth Games Association is limited to
taking 33 athletes in total – for the whole “Team Jersey”
GRANT / ATHLETE
FUNDING
There may be
some modest funding available from Commonwealth Games Association for Commonwealth/
Athlete preparation. I suggest it is worth meeting soon (possibly before Performance Pathway Meetings) to agree what
support/funding the Commonwealth Athletes might benefit from.
Things to
consider
·
Contribution to costs of coaching
·
Contribution to costs of equipment
·
Contribution to costs of training camp
·
Contribution to costs of physio / strength and
conditioning
TEAMWORK AND CO-ORDINATION
I think we
might set-up a (quarterly?) ‘coffee morning’ meeting with Commonwealth
Games Team hopefuls as an information/team building/co-ordination meeting.
This may be
best timed after our Saturday morning bike sessions.
I am also
keen to maintain a Newsletter/Web-Bulletin (which we also promote on Facebook)
to help open communications. I would be interested in your views on this.
QUEENS BATTON RELAY
Details to be advised Nov ‘16, but expect the batton to be
in Jersey Sept ’17. If you are interested in being active participant in the
QBR please let me know and I will pass to the Commonwealth Games Association.
SCHOOLS TWIINING
Each Games schools from each nation are twinned with the
host nation. If you are interested in being active participant in the this
please let me know and I will pass to the Commonwealth Games Association.
MARKETING AND SOCIAL MEDIA
We probably need to think about Jersey Triathlon Marketing
And Social Media
·
Do we just use Jersey Triathlon web, twitter,
facebook, blog or set-up something for the Commonwealth Games ?
·
Do we publish/copy all our press releases and
updates to Commonwealth Games Association for them to post on their web,
twitter, or facebook?
Suggest we discuss when we start our‘coffee morning’ meeting
MORE INFORMATION AND QUERIES
Please note I am publishing all bulletins on this website so
