We have had this rather useful 'fill in the blanks' press release sent to us, so thought why not use it.
For immediate release
Mick Lawrence, Richard Hancock, Ian Turner, Chris Ritchie, Emma Ritchie and Tom Stead MAKE THE GREAT BRITAIN TEAM FOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
Mick Lawrence, Richard Hancock, Ian Turner, Chris Ritchie, Emma Ritchie and Tom Stead will compete at the Olympic Triathlon venue of Hyde Park alongside over 1,200 fellow Great Britain Age-Group Team athletes from around the UK, as they have the unique opportunity to compete for world titles in front of friends and family.
The PruHealth World Triathlon Grand Final will also see the world’s best elite triathletes, including Olympic Champion, Alistair Brownlee; go head to head for the World Championship title. Both the elite women’s and elite men’s races are free-to-view on Saturday 14 September and Sunday 15 September respectively.
Over five days of competition there will also be 90 world championship titles available in the Age-Group races as the best club triathletes from around the world challenge for a gold medal.
Mick Lawrence, Richard Hancock, Ian Turner, Chris Ritchie, Emma Ritchie and Tom Stead qualified after doing triathlon really quickly and have been competing in triathlon for quite a while after taking it up for a number of different reasons.
They said: (as one) “It's the sort of thing you only get to do once, a couple of times, a few times, so I'm going to make the most of it"
A full schedule of events can be found www.london.triathlon.organd spectators can watch all events for free.

So there you have it, filled in a bit tongue in cheek but it really is an outstanding achievement for such a small club to have so many members representing GB over the next week. Smash it.
