Hi All

I hope you'll find our summer programme interesting - especially our Tuesday and
Thursday evening sessions. Last night we had the place practically to ourselves
which makes it a great place to learn or train.

This time round I've added links to some interesting skiing & rollerskiing
articles.


DORNEY UPDATE

We're able to confirm Dorney dates for the next few months – fitting in around
their rowing calendar, next date 29.4.6 (see below).

We introduce a mixture of dates at the weekends as well as Monday evenings
featuring.
We can now use shower and changing facilities in their excellent boathouse. See

ROLLERSKI COURSES

Our next event is a 1-day classic rollerski course at Dorney on Saturday 29.4.6.

Otherwise, we have classic and skating courses in London's Hyde Park taking
place over the summer – a mix of one day and 4-week courses.

You can see a list of courses on www.rollerski.co.uk/events.html and book
online.


BRISTOL-BATH ROLLERSKI – PREPARATION – SUNDAY 30.4.6

We're putting on 2 intermediate classes timed to coincide and prepare for the
Bristol-Bath rollerski tour on Sunday 30.4.6. The first session is classic at
09.30, the second session is skating at 11.30. These will be intermediate level
sessions (ie not for beginners) and will get you in the groove for the B-B.
Cost is £15 including equipment hire, £10 excluding. You can book online here –

The Bristol-Bath rollerski takes place the following Saturday 6 May.


ROLLERSKI FUN RUN – THIS SUNDAY 23RD APRIL

Think of rollerski racing as fun runs – as long as you have a decent level of
control over your skis, rollerski racing is as easy as just turning up and
having a go. All levels of competence and age take part in rollerski racing,
and novices do shorter races.

There is now a race entry form for the London Rollerski Race series on
www.rollerski.co.uk/ns009.html. £6 per race if booked in advcance. This
summer's races kick off this Sunday at Hayes, West London with a 10k classic
race (5k for novices) on matched skis.

ROW BIKE

We sometimes reckon we're the most unusual sport taking part in Hyde Park.
Well, no longer. We came across someone on a `row bike' on Saturday, possibly
the most unusual bike ever invented. See – http://www.rowbike.com

Best regards
Iain
