A big thank you to ALL the racers for without them (and their chauffeurs!) there would be no races.
Thank you again to Terry Bartlett for his continued support (especially for raffle prizes as we seem to be lacking other contributions). The raffle monies go towards all our skiers. Save your unwanted Christmas presents for the raffle next year as we rely on your generous donations for prizes. Thanks.
We would also like to thank Mike Hooles, (who has resigned from the committee) for his considerable contributions and technical expertise to skiing and L&SERSA. We welcome 2 new committee members in Ali Jubb and Debbie John. Ali will be helping Jacqui Lowes in Schools Liaison.

Early Snow Results
Chemmy Alcott has done extremely well (not only in achieving high ‘A’ level results, proving that education and skiing can be done side by side) but also in the Continental Cup by coming 12th in Slalom, 8th in GS (beatingkj Zali Steggall) and 10th overall.
Marc Telling (also achieving excellent GCSE results) and Tristan Lamb have been doing well in the early FIS races. A good start to the season for our racers.
Hope you all have a successful season on snow.
