One-year sponsorship of Jersey club
January 2011
FAIRBAIRN PRIVATE BANK SPONSORS JERSEY JUNIOR TRIATHLON
CLUB
Fairbairn Private Bank has entered into a one-year sponsorship
agreement with the Jersey Junior Triathlon Club. Part of the
well-established Jersey Triathlon Club, the junior section aims to
encourage children under 16 years of age to get involved in the
sport.
As well as promoting sporting excellence, the club is recognised
for the quality of its coaching, training and participation in the
community. The junior section of the club provides a varied
programme of events during the course of the year and offers
members specialist training and support. Last year's programme of
duathlon, aquathlon and triathlon events attracted over 50 children
eager to take part.
Commenting on the sponsorship agreement, David Stearn, head of
business development, said: "As a Jersey-based bank, we are
delighted to support the Jersey Junior Triathlon Club in its
efforts to get the Island's children involved in such a rigorous
and demanding sport. The beauty of triathlon is that it
offers the variety of three different sports, which makes it an
extremely effective way of getting children out and about, whatever
their abilities and backgrounds."

The sport of triathlon, which involves swimming, cycling and
then running, was created in the island of Hawaii and this first
race consisted of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile cycle followed by a
26.2 mile run. This length of race is now known as the Ironman
distance and is still run in Hawaii every October for those brave
enough to attempt it.
