Winter events Season 24/25

Winter is finally here and hopefully a few of you have made the most of the early snow. Some dates to look forward to below. As always our races dates are driven by conditions and we will keep the website calendar and Facebook updated with any changes.

Christmas Quiz

Our first event will be the annual Christmas Quiz. The quiz will be held on Thursday 19th December at HNOC. Start time will be 1930. Teams will be made up on the night.

Banchory Rollerski sessions

Working with SnowsportScotland, we are piloting some activity in the Banchory area, because we know we have quite a few members in that area. To start with, there will be monthly Saturday morning rollerski sessions led by a coach at Knockburn Loch. Initially sessions will be for people of any age with some rollerski experience, but if there is interest in beginner sessions then that will be considered in the future. Rollerski equipment can be provided, but must be requested in advance of the sessions.

Participants to arrive for 0930 with sessions running 0945 – 1115.

Dates:

  • Sat 21 Dec 2024

  • Sat 15 Feb 2025
  • Sat 15 March 2025
