Oxford Tri 2025 Strategy
We thought that this would be a good opportunity to re-share our Oxford Tri 2025. As a committee on the Monday the 3rd of July we will be meeting as a committee to review our progress as a club and look towards the future. As part of this we created this Strategy which we use as a foundation to guide our decisions. If you would like to feedback on your experiences of the club or any ideas that you think would help us improve in the future then please don’t hesitate to let us know via the info@oxfordtri.org.uk email address or speak to a member of the committee directly.
