With Thomas winning the 15-16 age group, Robert the 13-14 age group, Bill the 11-12 age group, Peter the 9-10 age group and Stephen second in the age 8 category, the boys will need extra space at home for trophy display.
On a very pleasant sunny morning there were a total of 150 children taking part in the annual swim/bike/run event, designed as an introduction to the sport for beginners. Organisation by Chiltern Harriers, Chesham Swimming Club and Amersham Tristars made for another well run event.
