windrush Triathlon Club committee
Chairperson / PJ Hopper
PJ joined Windrush Tri, with a couple of years' triathlon experience, when he moved back to South London in 2020. He's passionate about building on the club's previous work to grow a diverse membership and to be a place where anyone feels welcome to come and swim, bike and/or run. As a talkative Northerner, he enjoys spending time catching up over coffee and cake (mid-ride or post-swim) with old club hands and new members.
Secretary / Hamish Grant
Hamish has been a member of the club since 2019. Post lockdown, he has completed a varied mix of swim/bike/run challenges. He is passionate about helping continue the positive contribution the club makes to the local community, and expand the diversity of the club.
Treasurer / Simon Sowerby
Simon has been doing triathlon for five years and joined Windrush 2 years ago. He’s raced all distances and also enjoys running on its own.
Welfare Officer / Liz Curwen
Liz has been Windrush's welfare officer since November 2022 and a member of Windrush since 2014.
She'd done a couple of triathlons before joining but has found the camaraderie and support that comes from belonging to Windrush is what motivates her to keep signing up!
As Welfare officer, Liz helps the club ensure it adheres to its safeguarding responsibilities and hopes to also provide a friendly ear or face, happy to have a chat with any member having a tough time.
Please reach out to welfare@windrushtri.co.uk if you need to.
Membership Secretary / Eddy Williams
Eddy joined Windrush during Covid as a complete newbie to swimming, biking, running, and indeed exercise in general.
Since joining the club he has now competed in triathlons, duathlons and aquathlons of all distances, most recently completing his first Ironman in Hamburg.
He’s always on hand to welcome new members, particularly those that are new to the sport.
Aquathlon Director / Florence Mowlem
Florence is the main lady for the Aquathlon 2024 and is doing a sterling job of organising our prestige event in Brockwell Park.
IT Officer / Russell Speechley
Russell is the IT Officer and is responsible for monitoring the various Windrush Triathlon websites.
He has been a member of Windrush since 2014 and has taken part in various triathlons and cycle events, mainly focusing on the two wheeled events of late. He welcomes any suggestions for how the websites can be improved.
Junior Coordinator / Gareth Roberts
Gareth caught the triathlon bug in 2022 and hasn't looked back. He's passionate about the positive power of sport, and hopes to encourage as many young people as possible to try out tri!
His role as Junior Coordinator is to run the junior division of the club: coordinate training sessions, races, and help the juniors (and parents!) have as much fun as possible through triathlon.
Diversity Officer / Chloe Francis
Chloe has a background in swimming and completed her first triathlon in 2021, before joining the club a few months later.
Chloe is passionate about diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) and her aim is to ensure that Windrush Triathlon Club respects and welcomes people of all backgrounds – with a focus on improving opportunities for disadvantaged and under-served groups in swim, bike and run.
