Work party Sunday 13th September

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

Welcome to the start of the new ski season and what better way to celebrate than joining us at one of the 2 planned work parties this month. The first is on Sunday 13th September followed by Saturday 26th September. We meet at the car park around 10am and there are jobs to suit all abilities. These work parties are crucial to the running of WSC,otherwise all the maintenance work, renewal, ditching, fence repairs, servicing etc would not get done and it your opportunity to give something back to your club and they are generally good fun as well. Please bring warm clothing, a packed lunch, sturdy shoes or boots and a good sense of humour.

Membership renewal is well underway. Current members get priority and are guaranteed renewal if they apply before the end of September - you should have received an email from Sportident already - if not look in your spam/junk box. People who are on our current waiting list will get an invite to join on 1st October and on the 1st November we will open to all comers. For new members there is a one off joining fee of £10 which does not apply to current members as long as they renew before the end of October. This fee only applies to new adult members.

 

Of interest to some members might be the Arctic Marathon 2016 -this will take place from 26th Feb - 2nd March 2016 and involves backcountry skiing 26.2miles over trails specifically created by Abisko rangers in the magical wilderness of Lapland, staying in remote mountain huts along the way.
