The following entry has more information about what is happening at SnOasis.
Also some more from the local paper here

This weekend saw the Club National on Saturday and the first of the SSE Grand Prix on Sunday at Norfolk.

The weather forecast for the weekend was wet wet wet. However we were very lucky on Saturday as the sun was out most of the day so much so I managed to get a bit of sun burn on the head! that’s one of the advantages of the outdoor races and it produces a much better atmosphere. Of course great when the sun is out but not so good when it is the rain.

Have a friend who has taken nine months of work this year to go on his next set of travels. This time making his way overland to Australia. He left a few weeks ago and is posting to his blog here, mattgivertz.blogspot.com. I so just want to pack it in and disappear for a few months somewhere, so envious!

He goes of travelling every 5-6 years to different places in the world and is a fascinating guy to chat to.

So during the summer racing season we have both indoor and outdoor racing giving people a much wider choice than just a few years ago. Over the past couple of years the opportunity to race indoors has grown dramatically, the Graham Beck races have proved very successful and this year he is running a lot of races and peer pressure is pushing more people in that direction. At the same time SSE have started running more races indoors covering club nationals, grand prix and championships.

Attached is the April newsletter focusing on the coming summer season. Any comments or feedback greatly received :) drop me a line at bernard@lindseygang.co.uk.

Hope you find it useful just another way of pushing information out, but always need feedback.
This will also appear on the ERSA Website very soon.

If you have upgraded to Microsoft Office 2007 the one big thing you will have noticed is how the navigation around the applications has changed. They have moved several of the menu items around just to confuse us. I’ve been using it for a couple of years but still have trouble finding a few items.

Anyway chances are you are struggling to find everything you need so the following references will prove to be invaluable.

A lot!!

But what am I on about now? Skiing of course and what happens in the background for the various races that go on.

If you are a race secretary for either a club national or grand prix make sure you have a read of this http://www.britski.org/arbul101.pdf. It has some useful information about the forthcoming season, it has been sent to club secretaries in the past couple of days, been on the website since the end of March, but not emailed directly to race secretaries yet.

Have you heard of Mark Beaumont? Well over the past three weeks his has been on BBC TV with his new documentary about his travels across the Americas. Mark started from Anchorage in Alaska following the mountain ranges south to Ushuaia in Southern Argentina.

He spent most of the time on his own filming himself as he headed south and it was fantastic watching him travel the 13,000 miles through many different countries and cultures. Excellent way to travel and see the world though!

About 4 weeks ago a colleague was trying to persuade more people to take part in a 10km run sometime this year, now this guy is very fit and cycles and runs all the time. After he went I had a think about it and thought why not I need a different challenge this year. If he had said cycle a distance that would have been quite easy as I do a lot of that as I enjoy cycling and do lots. But running is something different, it is not something I enjoy that much and find very hard to motivate myself to do. So certainly a very good challenge.
