The summer artificial race calendar got off to a flying start at Gloucester on Saturday 19.4.14.  A huge congratulations to Andrew Webb, who was taking part in his first race at this level.  Andrew skied extremely well in the very strong U12 male age category.  Harvey Campbell skied two solid runs, and achieved 7th overall in the same age group.  Charlie Deem who is also new to racing at this level, skied into 3rd place in the U10 male category.  Ellie Jackson put in two very solid runs for her first race on full poles and achieved 2nd position in the strongly contested U14 female age group.  The afternoon consisted of team dual slalom events.  Telford’s team was by far the youngest but Charlie, Harvey, Andrew and Ellie all put in solid and competitive performances for each run.  Well done to all Telford skiers who took part – it was great to see you all working as a team and helping each other out – you made me very proud.
