WSC AGM, Membership and Work Party.

The Weardale Ski Club ltd

The Weardale Ski Club AGM is being held at the Honest Lawyer Hotel, Croxdale, Durham DH1 3SP on Monday 15 November 2010 starting at 8pm. Everyone is welcome to come and join us and see what goes on behind the scenes. Any member interested in getting more involved in the running of WSC who would like to apply to join the board should express an interest 2 weeks before the meeting. We have several enthusiastic members who have been very helpful at work parties and if any of you are interested in joining us please will you contact me by the end of October at the latest or if you simply wish to discuss what it entails then feel free to contact me.

Membership - we have currently over 600 members (new + renewals) and each day a few more applications drop onto our doormat. It is looking as though we will reach our maximum number in the next few weeks and have to close membership for the 2nd year running. If you have not renewed/joined yet I would suggest you do so pretty quickly or be disappointed. I have it on good authority that this winter will be even colder than last year ( Several people have emailed me to say that the Siberian Swans have arrived 3 weeks earlier than usual which signals the start of an arctic winter .........).

Work Party The (hopefully) final work party of the season will take place this Sunday 24 October. We need about 6-8 people to complete the final jobs - widening a bridge, a few new sections of snow fencing on a new run we have just had created and a few bits of tidying up. Unfortunately before we can do this we need to get the track back on the Rolba following repairs to it so please do not attend before 11am otherwise you will be standing around getting cold! Please email me if you intend to attend as we don't need a huge turnout and most of the work will be fairly heavy

Let hope the Siberian swans are true to form and we have a great season.
