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.

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
