On Thursday Newcastle Civic Centre will host the first BTA "Tri 2000 Roadshow". The aim of the initiative is to encourage more people to take up the challenge triathlon, regardless of their age or ability. During March and April, the BTA will be running roadshows in the 10 English Regions, Scotland and Wales. The evenings will provide people with the opportunity to meet athletes and discover more about the various activities planned for the year ahead, including a series of short distance pool based events, being organised for the weekends immediately following triathlons debut at the Sydney Olympics.

This first roadshow is in the Pandon Room at Newcastle civic centre. Registration starts at 6:30 and everybody is welcome to come along and meet us. For further information, directions etc call the BTA on 01530 414 234 or carolebillington-ray@britishtriathlon.co.uk
