Hi everyone,
I hope you have had (and are still having) a great summer. With the imminent return to school of children and the darkening nights thoughts are slowly turning back to skiing. Membership renewals open again on September 1st and like in recent years we are allowing existing members a month to renew and will guarantee them places up until the 1st October when it becomes a free for all and we open to non members on a first come first served basis. We offer a discount to all current members if they renew within September but after 1st October this is withdrawn and anyone joining then has to pay the same as new members. As all membership is now through Sportident there will be no exceptions to this so please ensure that you renew before 1st October - there is a direct link from the website which will open on 1st September. Please note that there will be a delay this year of 2-3 weeks sending out membership cards for those eager ones who join early, due to other committments.
Can I take this opportunity to welcome our new sponsors Sally & Den at The Chaos ( Darlington) who have kindly provided the cards and are also planning to offer some promotional events to WSC members with significant discounts. They also offer an excellent and very cheap ski and board servicing deal. (More details about the Chaos at later date). Thanks to all those others who expressed an interest in sponsoring us.
Work Parties - we have 2 planned on the last 2 Sundays in September (22 + 29th) both starting at 10am. We have a huge amount of work to be done before we can open and need as much support and help from you as possible. The jobs involve semi-skilled work on the engines, nmachinery etc and non skilled work on ditches, fence repairs, painting etc
Long Range Forecast - These are notoriously difficult in the UK but the UKweatherforecast site -http://www.ukweatherforecast.co.uk/category/long-range-weather/ - is predicting a colder than average January and February this season which looks promising. December is thought to be a bit milder but more variable. We shall see but if it follows the last few years patterns we might be in for another cracker!
