Motion #1 – Membership Structure and Fee
Proposal that the Club adopts a revised membership structure whereby the membership fee will provide access to all cycling and running sessions and the swimming sessions held in the 25-metre pool (Sean McDermott Street).
Access to swimming sessions held in 50-metre pools (Westwood and UCD) will be subject to an additional fee, payable separate from the standard membership fee.
| Full | Student | Half-year | |
| Standard Membership* | €295 | €150 | €150 |
| 50-metre pool add-on | €175 | €175 | €88 |
*All swim training in 25-metre pool, all cycling and running training.
This proposal aims to maintain the current membership fee while balancing the allocation of the higher costs of 50-metre pools fairly while still providing access to those who wish to use these facilities. This price increase for the 50-metre pools is essential to keep the Club’s finances sustainable. Full details will be provided at the AGM.
Motion #2 – Change to Piranha Triathlon Club Kit Design
Proposal that Piranha Triathlon Club update its current kit design to reflect the feedback received from the club kit survey, while retaining the club’s established navy and red colours and recognisable identity.
The survey feedback highlighted a preference for maintaining the club’s traditional colours, a clean and minimal design, dark/black bib shorts, and kit that is non-transparent. The proposed redesign aims to reflect these priorities while modernising the club’s appearance and maintaining a consistent identity across club members.
It is proposed that the club review and vote on the shortlisted kit designs, with the preferred design selected through a club vote.
Motion #3 – Election of Committee Members
In accordance with the Club constitution, the following candidates are proposed for election to the Committee:
Chair: Brian Stanley
Treasurer: Ciaran Kyne
Secretary: Brighid Smyth
Training: Dave Furlong (seeking re-election) and Rob White
Membership: Adeli Rensburg
New to Tri: George Galbraith and Patrick McGee

Motion #4 – Membership tiers
A- €50
B -€60 or
C- €70 be added to the membership annual charge that will be credited back if the member volunteers for the club race . A credit to be given for this additional cost if the member has volunteered in either 2025 or 2026. If a member cannot volunteer they can nominate another adult to volunteer in their place . So the fee structure would be (if €60 added for example):
Basic (no access to WW) with volunteering – €295
Basic (no access to WW) no volunteering – €355
Full with volunteering- €470
Full no volunteering – €530
I also propose that it be highlighted on the website site that the cost of all swim sessions are included in each type of membership.
The details of the 2026 AGM are as follows:
Date: Saturday, 7 November 2026
Time: 11:00am (Light breakfast and tea/coffee from 10.30am)
