Snow Training Sunday 5th December, 9am- 2pm/Yad Moss

Hi Folks, we will be running a snow training session at Yad Moss this Sunday subject to weather! Lift Pass will cost £15 for Adults and £8 for children plus £5 per person for coaching. John Greenwood be taking the training session and we will organise other coaches depending on numbers. This Sundays training session is open to all members so let me know as soon as you can if you want to come. Yad Moss is accessible from the main road so 4x4's are not essential but obviously check the weather first as the roads can be closed. I will post further bulletins later in the week and let you know.

The list of medal winners for each race is as follows:
