Annual Report 2013

A Great Year for Triathlon in Scotland Welcome to the 2013 Annual Report and Annual General Meeting (AGM). Once again this is the time of year that we, your Board of Directors and employed staff, and you the members come together to review our year’s work. Today is the day that we are held to account to ensure that we have been working effectively and with due diligence as a Governing Body to develop the sport of triathlon. As our sport continues to grow and develop the AGM is your chance to ensure that we are managing this growth well and encouraging further development of the sport for all. As you will see from the Annual Report we as a Sports Governing Body have continued to evolve. Wise investments in our organisation including key staff appointments and development projects have resulted in a healthy growth in membership, events, participants and income leaving us in rude health as we enter a new year. We will continue to build on this success in the coming years. The AGM though is not just a time to carry out the ‘business’ of the day; it is also that time when we as a triathlon family come together to reflect and celebrate the achievements of the past year. London once again provided a showcase for our great sport as the home to this year’s ITU World Finals. Not only was the racing of the GB team superb, but so too was the fantastic input from our own Scottish athletes at this world class event. At a senior level, throughout the year, our athletes have continued to flourish and have confirmed themselves as regulars on the GB team. And, with a fistful of medals at Junior level, Scotland is set to become a growing influence at the highest levels of racing. The coming year will see all eyes and ambitions focussing on Glasgow 2014. As an added bonus the Glasgow Games will be the first time the Triathlon Relay will be staged at a Commonwealth Games. With the prospect of racing on home soil in front of thousands of partisan spectators, the scene is set for a thrilling event for our Scottish athletes.
Whilst it was fantastic to see our sport as one of the most over subscribed sports for the 2014 Games this has meant that many members of the triathlonscotland family will have been disappointed in not obtaining tickets. The good news is that this will be a free to spectate event for most of the course so everyone will be able to see our heroes in action if they so wish. Away from elite racing as always for us, the strength of our organisation lies with you the ‘ordinary’ member. The measure of success for the Board and staff is whether your experiences either as a competitor or a volunteer, have been positive ones and where this isn’t the case, how can we do better? Be you an Age Grouper racing at the Worlds or a volunteer helping a novice to complete their first successful swim in open water; ultimately if we can look about us at the end of the day and say we are proud to be a member of such a great sport then we know we are on the right path to further success. As 2013 comes to a close we feel sure that the vast majority of our members will be able to reflect on the year and be proud to be a member of the triathlonscotland family. We certainly are, as are our fellow Board members and our hard working staff. Thank you for continuing to support triathlon in Scotland and let’s look forward together to another exciting year for one of the fastest growing sports worldwide! Good luck for all your triathlon challenges in 2014 and don’t forget to tell us all about them! We want to hear all your great and inspiring stories.
Geoff Earl, President Jane Moncrieff, Chief Operating Officer November 2013
