JERSEY TRIATHLON COMMONWEALTH BULLETIN NO 008– UPDATE DECEMBER 2016



6 December 2016

Dear Commonwealth Games Hopefuls

I had a meeting with Commonwealth Games Association Council today and have some useful update information for you, which we can discuss at the AGM on Thursday

FUNDING / SPONSORSHIP

The Commonwealth Games Association has funding (more details to be announced soon) but it is important to note that this funding is only available to support Commonwealth Games Hopefuls if they do the following…

Submit their log books each quarter (See note1)
Submit a summary of their 2016 programme/results
Submit a summary of their 2017 plans

Note1 All JTC Athletes use Training Peaks so it is easy to export from Training Peaks into Excel and submit that to Commonwealth Games Association [administrator@cgaj.org] with cc to TimHJRogers@hougue.com and nick@tpscoach.com

If you do not do this you cannot be eligible for Commonwealth Games Association funding

The funding will be ….

Level 0 – for athletes a long way from their Key Performance Indicators £0 NIL
Level 1 – for near their Key Performance Indicators £250
Level 2 – for met their Key Performance Indicators + all testing & meetings etc £500
Level 3 – for exceed their Key Performance Indicators + all testing & meetings etc £1000

However you need to bid (ie put in an application) for funding.

Applications for funding by 20th Dec will get money by 3rd January. If you don’t bid someone else will and the money will go to someone else. This is why it is so important that you have a coach and a plan for 2017 – as noted in earlier email/newsletter.

Reminder…

All Commonwealth Hopefuls will be asked to confirm if they have a coach, and if they have a forward looking training programme from now to Gold Coast 2018. The JTC will hold the coach + athlete responsible for attending the testing, meeting the KPIs, and achieving the  standards required toward the necessary criteria and standards by May 2017.

COMMONWEALTH GAMES TICKETS

Friends and family tickets go on sale Q1 2017 on a first-come, first-served and pay-up-front basis. This is a friends and family offer, but they only 100% guaranteed way you’ll get tickets for Commonwealth Games. Public sales (in May 2017) will be more ‘…only if your lucky…’ Maybe start writing a note to Father Christmas about what you want in January???
ATHLETE TEAM DAY

Reminder 22 April 2017 – you will be sent an invitation via EventBrite – may sure you accept the invitation!

Kind regards, Tim
