Ski Centre Open Day November 2010

The ski centre open day went off very well this year. We had some excellent if chilly weather and it was very well attended. The club has gained at least one new member with a few more potential recruits.

Thanks to everybody who gave their time to make the day a success

Club Races 11th September

The Club Championships took place this weekend. The weather started off very wet but dried out through the day. Aberdeenshire council came through with a patch to the track where the river had washed it out last autumn.

Thanks to all those who spent time marshalling and lap counting and cleaning the track. Also thanks to the ski centre and Aberdeenshire Council for hosting the event.

Callum Smith took first place in the Men’s competition and Posy Musgrave took the laurels for the Women.

Clash Hill Climb 2010

Here are some photos from David Horsley of the hill climb. I’m told it was extremely wet. Thanks to the MacLeans for providing the teepee.

Huntly Sprints 2010

The sprints were held today. The despite the damage to the track last Autumn a full program of racing was completed with Novice and Elite Courses and a knock-out. Attendance appeared to be a bit down on last year, but a strong team  from Cairngorm Biathlon And Nordic Ski Club meant there was tough competition. In addition the RAF team was in attendance lead by Steve Perry. The

Club member Andrew Young took first place in the Men’s Elite competition, follwed closely by Alex Standen. Hopefully this is a good sign for Alex’s upcoming Winter season. Cairngorm U16 member Calumn Irvine took third place, marking him as someone to keep an eye on in future.

With Sarah Young competing in the men’s competition, Highland Nordic’s Katy Homyer took the laurels in the Women’s competition. Unfortunately Catriona Dudgeon took a nasty fall in the 500m time trial which knocked her out of the day’s competition. Full results below
