ROLLERSKI CLUB
Our Saturday morning rollerski club will be introduced in September, aimed at
developing skiers who have done our courses, or who are otherwise competent
rollerskiers and want to improve. There will be an open meeting tomorrow
(Wednesday 30 August) for anyone interested in finding out more. For further
details see –

ROLLERSKI T-SHIRT
On sale on the website at the moment is our new t-shirt. Based on a design by
Andy Klimacki – our on-snow classic cross-country ski instructor – it's a good
way of identifying yourself to interested or bemused members of the public!
