Latest Ravens News

Hi Folks

 

Just a few dates for the diary coming up!

 

The last Winter Series Race is next Wednesday 4th April. We will get off to another prompt start and aim to get through 3 runs again like last month. The success of the race depends on the help and cooperation of the parents so please get there early and make yourself available to help out where possible.

 

The Ravens Summer BBQ and Winter Series Presentation is on Friday 24th June at Ramside Hall Golf Club. The evening will start from 7pm and will include BBQ, Disco and Presentation. Tickets are £7.50 per person and will be available to buy from Anil from next Wednesday. Based on how popular the Xmas Night was im sure it will ber a success so get tickets early!

 

We will be holding a parents evening on Wednesday 11th May in the Heritage room hosted by Marie Lee. Marie will be available to give parents a little more insight into the way in which the race scene works and how you and your child can get involved in racing. She will cover involvement in Club Nationals and the seed sytem for Gran Prix's as well as how to get registered for the forth coming Club National at Silksworth.

 

The Ravens Club National and Gran Prix weekend is fast approaching and is on Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th June. The coaches will be talking to both the skiers and the parents over the coming weeks and will where apporpriate be advising you whether you should consider entering. On the whole i think most of the skiers at Ravens are at a level where they should consider entering but if you want more information please speak to your relevant coach. Several of the coaches will be available on both days to give advice and help with course inspection and we are looking to get as many local skiers as possible to enter.

 

I think that covers the main things for now but feel free to get in touch!

 

Regards

Winter Series is on next Wednesday. As always we need parents to help out so can you please email back to confirm if you are willing to help on the night. All jobs are available and there are several parents on hand to explain things if you are unsure. We will be moving to a new system for next year whereby all skiers taking part will be required to provide an official or helper (we will publish details at the AGM).

Ravens had another great training session at Castleford yesterday, plans are under way to organise another one for May. The snowdome is getting quieter now so we will be running other trips through the summer but with later starting times so watch this space for further details.

The Winter Series presentation and summer bbq is now booked for friday 24th June at Ramside Golf club. Due to the success of the xmas one we will be putting tickets out for this in the next couple of weeks so keep the date clear in your social calendar!

John Greenwood will be taking a more active role in organising events and training sessions while Lee is out of action. John will also have a more active role in communication of events going forward. This will hopefully ensure more information about upcoming events is communicated quicker and more frequently. John will be posting on the Ravens Facebook account as well as the blog page. We will aim to keep emails to once a fortnight and the noticeboard updated every three months.

And finally....whilst it is some way off, Ravens ski club is always looking for new members to join the committee. I am in my 3rd year as chairman and whilst i said i would commit to 5 years I also said there was a break clause after 3 so this is the perfect time for someone to step up and take over the role if they wish. There are several roles available within the committe and As a club i also think it is important that the committee attracts fresh faces so that it is run in a way that reflects what it its members want. If you are interested in joining or taking a more active role in the club please let me or any of the other committee members know.
