Stoke Fun Race Series

Congratulations to all Telford skiers who participated in the second race of the Stoke fun race series, on Saturday.  The weather was good, the event well run with us all heading home by 2.00pm.  It was great to see both newer and more experienced racers taking part, with all our juniors skiing well throughout the day.  As ever, the head to heads in the afternoon were good fun, with skiers being given the chance to race against others with similar times.  Podiums for Ben (U8 male - 3rd) Charlie (U10 male - 1st):  Ellie (U12 girls - 1st): Tom (U14 male -3rd).  A huge congratulations to Lewis, taking part in his first race away from Telford.  Lewis put in two fantastic runs in the individual event, just missing out on the medals, and won all three of his head to heads in the afternoon.  Well done to all.   Helen

This weekend  clearly introduced us to summer racing for 2014. The suncream & shorts were out sunglasses and hats were on and although Saturday started cloudy when the sunshine broke through  it did it in style.  Telford Racer Chris Stevens competing in the U18 Males class managed a similar feat , putting down two solid runs in the GBR he secured himself a 3rd Overall.

The first two races of the British Indoor Grand Prix series took place 10 and 11 May at Castleford Snow zone.
Our monthly Castleford training sessions provided Telford skiers with slope familiarisation, with all racers performing well, in what was possibly the biggest meet of 2014, to date.
Well done to our rising star, Iona Brickley who achieved a podium position on Sunday, skiing into silver position. 
The next two races are 19 and 20 July.  Full details of these events, together with results of all races are on the Britski website.  If you would like any further information about the race series or where to stay, please speak to one of your committee members.  It would be great to see you all there.
