Hi all
Voss - 45 Ravens went out to Voss during the half term. We flew out from Newcastle and arrived in Voss to be met by blue sky, sunshine and perfect snow conditions, albeit a bit chilly! Hotel Jahl looked after us perfectly for the week and the resort provided us with our own piste and excellent training facilities for the week. Parents, athletes and coaches all agreed it was a fantastic week and preliminary plans are under way to book again for next year. If you want more details for next year they will me coming out in the next couple of months.
Race Calendar - The races for this year are published on www.britski.org. We are aiming to compete in a number of races this year as a club. The first race we intend competing at is the Chillfactore on 23rd 24th April in the indoor championships Manchester. Many of the skiers are showing significant improvement on race night and we are keen as a club to encourage as many as possible to have a go at racing in a more competitive environment. We appreciate there are a number of skiers who have not registered to race before so if you need any further information or assistance please let us know. We will be looking to book Premier inns in Manchester in the coming week so let me know if you are interested.
Race Night - Thankyou to everyone who helped on race night last week. I appreciate it was particularly cold and it was one of those nights where the timing gear seemed to be determined to go wrong at every opportunity. Thanks to the several new parents who helped last week. Race night can not run without the assistance of the parents. We will be changing the rules after this winter series so that it is not the same parents being expected to help each race night. In the meantime if you havnt assisted yet during this winter series the next race night will be on Wednesday 30th March and we would love to hear from you!
Winter Series Presentation and Summer BBQ - following the positive feedback from the Xmas Party we have provisionally booked Ramside Golf Club on Friday 24th June. Further details to follow.
Sunday Training - As many of you know Lee Bennett is going into hospital and will be unable to take Sunday training for the next 6 weeks. We are looking into alternative arrangements and will let you know over the next week. I am sure I speak on behalf of everyone at Ravens when I say we wish him well and a very speedy recovery.
