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.

The ERSA Champs is taking place on 26th and 27th September just some more details below.

A reminder that this year that each day of the champs counts towards the overall summer league points.

We have been in regular communication with Gosling centre regarding the re-opening of the slope and the readiness for the ERSA Champs on the 27th September. As of Wednesday evening they have confirmed that they expect to be allowed to re-open by the close of play this Friday.

We will confirm Friday if everything is still on track. If not and there continue to be problems we will move the race. So please be patient with us until the weekend.
