Please read the attached regarding the nomination of clubs for racer memberships and what will be published online.

Congratulations to Chris Shelly on his appointment as Snowsport England member director, details posted here.

Last night saw 45 racers brave the first real cold of the season over at Norfolk Snowsports Centre for the Ski and Boarder X.

There is always something special about night time races and this was no exception. 

The first part of the evening was three individual timed runs through the course and the second half everyone was split into teams for the head to head races. This resulted in some exciting racing and action.

Read the recent article on the BBC Website about Jasmin.

There is a Level 2 officials course taking place at the end of the month on the 28th and 29th November in Aldershot. It is a very good opportunity to learn a lot more about the running of the races, well worth attending and we are always looking for more help in the region. 

Attached are details of the course and application form. Even if you can only do one day worth looking at it. If you would like more information email chair@ersa.co.uk.
