Weekly newsletters started in September 1979 with the results of the 4 mile Triangle run won by David Laws in a time of 21.13. There were only 12 competitors in that run. The early newsletters were one page and included the results of the previous weeks run, upcoming events, meeting dates and general information.
Later newsletters included all the same information as early newsletters but expanded out to numerous pages with pictures, member’s profiles, social events calendar, local fun runs and triathlons calendars, maps of runs, advertisements, advice on stretches and training. In later newsletters there were many articles on runs that members had done in Australia and overseas, fun items such as the famous Maltese Falcon and even what to do if caught out on a run without toilet paper.
A huge effort has been put into collecting and scanning as many as possible of the original newsletters and also compiling the recent ones written in ”Microsoft Word” (from 2002 onwards).
