Spring is well and truly here, and with it long evenings to spend perfecting
your rollerski technique! The ski season is nearly over, but no reason to stop
skiing…

This newsletter has information on races, the B2B tour, biathlon news, press
cuttings but first of all…



SPRING SPECIAL OFFERS

To celebrate the beginning of British Summer Time - and the start of our evening
sessions on 17th April �" we’re lowering the prices of ALL our rollerski
classes and 4-week courses.

The idea is to encourage you to get back into rollerskiing, make it a great
chance get your friends along, try a new technique (classic or skating), or get
some more advanced coaching. We’d encourage you to book early to get on the
session you want, as places are limited, and you have to book before Good Friday
(April 6th).

Class sessions are £15 (previously £20) and courses are £75 (previously
£85). We’ve also added our first course in Dulwich Park.

We have added a Dorney Day this Sunday 1st April �" due to popular demand!

2-hr session �" http://www.rollerski.co.uk/class.html

Alan Eason will be doing a Level 2 course at Dorney on 29th April. The feedback
from his first Level 2 course has been very good, and if you want to advance
your skills we’d encourage you to book this one.


DAILY TELEGRAPH

We have a couple of press cuttings �" one is from the Daily Telegraph
magazine, which appeared last Saturday. The text of it is extracted from a
(much abbreviated!) interview I did for them. See -

The second is from Metropolitan Life, a magazine for members of the
Metropolitan Police. See - http://www.rollerski.co.uk/nr038.html


ROLLERSKI RACING

The GB Rollerski Tour and the London Rollerski Race Series have provided me with
further information, which I have posted on
http://www.rollerski.co.uk/ns024.html

The first London Series race is in London on 15th April, and the first GB Series
race kicks off at Huntly on 2nd June.


BRISTOL-BATH TOUR

I’ve had a lot of confirmations for the Bristol-Bath tour, so it should be a
really good day out, and a great show of skiing strength! You’re reminded
that friends / support crews on bikes are very welcome. Let me know if you
would like to volunteer as a First Aid person.

CLUB

Alan Eason will be doing the club session on 1st April (this Saturday) and the
28th April.

The club programme has been updated and can be seen on

BIATHLON NEWS

The GB Development Squad for biathlon has been announced, and the two UK
civilian biathlon clubs have been acknowledged by the BBU as pathways into the
sport. For more information see http://www.britishbiathlon.com


BIRKEBEINER CANCELLED

Bad news for anyone doing the famous Birkebeiner Ski Marathon in Norway. For
the first time ever it was cancelled, due to bad weather. The first couple of
waves of skiers set off, but were not to finish, as conditions on the mountain
got too bad.
