Final outdoor GBR race 2014

The 6th and final race of the outdoor GBR series took place at Gloucester, on Sunday 6th July.  Telford Ski Club was represented by Ed, Chris, Matt, Grace, Ellie and Jamie Conde.  Aided by the new "team race moustaches", Telford delivered some excellent runs in what was a highly competitive event.  Podiums for Grace (1st U16 girls) and Ellie (2nd U14 girls).  Celebrations with ice creams and lollies followed for skiers, to cool down in the afternoon sun.  Not sure what happened to Grace and Ellie ...................!!!!  Helen

Gloucester & Midland Club National Weekend June 2014




Course inspection with the a large field of racers!.



Saturday 28th June was the date for the Midland Club National held at Gloucesters excellent slope.
Telford racers in attendance were Isobel & Elinor Drummond, Joshua Law, Charlie Deem , Grace & Matthew Williams.  Over the last few years this race has proven to be popular with the dryslope racing community especially so for 2014 with nearly 150 racers competing. Weather was typically British weather switching all day from Bright Sunshine to light rain showers. Coat on, Coat off , Repeat.  Telford Racers were on excellent form with many individuals just missing podiums.

Sunday 29th June saw the sun coming up on the Gloucester Club National. Weather behaved itself with Bright Sun, Suncream and shorts in abundance. This is how summer should be. Telford Racers were in the thick of it again but due to a little bit of bad luck Telford were denied any podiums. It was great to see Ellen Brown competing again in the U21 class.

If any of the younger telford racers, ideally those with a little experience at stoke fun races feel ready to move to Nationals races this is one to target. Telford will usually support the Gloucester races. If you are interested for 2015 have a word with myself , Helen or Jamie and we will make sure we are their to guide you through.
