£12,000 to get married

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

If anyone is planning to get married and fancies £12000 towards their wedding the email copied below from the BBC may be of interest. Come to think of it even if you weren't planning to get married might be worth it!

My name is Sam and I am emailing you from a TV production company called Renegade Pictures based in London – we produce the BAFTA nominated series'Don't Tell the Bride'.

 

The reason for my email is we have just reopened our casting for the show and we would really love to feature a couple on the show who have an interest in skiing and snowboarding.

 

We are particularly looking for a couple who would love to feature in our one off Christmas special. This episode goes out by itself separate from the main series and normally attracts the most viewers/press attention.

 

If we manage to find a couple with a skiing/snowboarding interest there may be a possibility to feature your venue in the episode.

 

I wondered if it would be possible to post something about this either on your social media or on a noticeboard that you may have at the centre to see if we can build any interest? I have a casting flyer that I can send over to you…

 

The premise of the show would remain the same: the groom is given three weeks and a free £12,000 budget to plan an entire wedding from scratch without the brides involvement.

 

More info on the show can be found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00d7mtr

 

Please let me know if any of this is a possibility – feel free to call/email me to discuss further!

 

Many Thanks

WSC work parties and membership renewal

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a good summer and the poor August didn't spoil things. Looks like we are in for a good September which means great weather for the next 2 work parties which we are holding on Sunday 21 + 28th September. There is loads of work to be done and we need as many hands as possible. The last 2 work parties were very poorly attended and if we hope to get the necessary work done we will need a lot more of you to turn up so PLEASE try to attend at least one of them. They all start at 10am meeting at the car park. All materials and equipment will be provided so just bring packed lunch, old clothes and sturdy shoes/boots.

Membership renewals open from Monday 1 September and Sportident are sending out an email to all last years members. Please check your emails and if you cannot see an email check your spam box. If you do not get a reminder within the next 2 weeks please let me know. As in previous seasons we are giving members a month to renew during which time we will guarantee membership. From the 1st October we will open to new membership applications and it will then become "first come first served" so after 1st October renewal cannot be guaranteed. If places remain unfilled from 1st November then a late joining fee of £20 will also apply. Please note we are keeping membership fees the same as last year and indeed it has remained the same for several years now. I believe that at £35 for an adult membership we are by far the best value around. Allenheads which only has a short rope tow charges £35 a year and Raise and Yad Moss who have one tow each charge £55 a year (I believe that is their current rate) so with 2 lifts (3 if you include the portable tow), a huge expanse of varied terrain and north facing slopes you must agree it sounds pretty good value! In addition our weather guru from Cowshill (Ivan) has reminded me that last time the Icelandic volcano erupted in 2010 we had a cracking season and look what is happening over there again - your alpine ski trip may be cancelled due to ash cloud but we will remain open at WSC whatever happens in Iceland!
