Looking back 2012

Year 2012 was a difficult year of Sonic. We have slightly setback in membership base, drop in training participant, affecting the team moral. And health alert of our french member Yvan who've been diagnosed of cancer.

Nevertheless, Yvan's YC campaign lead by some of our volunteers was a huge success, we thank you Frederic for the heavily involvement and Jeanette for reporting on the SCMP that raised a lot of public awareness, we also thank you to George and Teresa, Chris and TT who helped extending awareness to the dragon boat participants and giving leaflet to the public. All the effort made Red Cross became so busy and filled with all the kind heart for registering bone marrow donation. Miracle did happen and the bone marrow transplant in October, read the story from

Our 9th End of Season Dinner was a great success, happy to all happy faces like doing the 'Hong Kong Style' hotpot that put all the raw meat in the pot! Thanks Sacha and Emily contributing some bottles of red, and thank FlyingBall and SportsWorld to make our lucky draw so fruitful!

Coming up in year 2013, we are stepping into 10th years of anniversary of Sonic! It will continue to be a challenging year. There are more training group in the Hong Kong Tri scene, more opportunities for new comers doing triathlon training. We can't be lazy, we will re-produce promotion leaflet for both adult and junior training, we will make 10th years anniversary team kits, we will recruit more new members, we also need everyone involve to make Sonic a great 10th years, make it count and make it brilliant!
