Hello Ski Fans!
What a wonderful week of skiing we had last week! There was some Great Racing to be had. The Nordic Skill Development Program ran a successful Racing Rocks Simulation with the help of many coaches. We also ran our uphill downhill event with an incredible turnout. We also ran another Telemark Cup Biathlon Race. A Big Thank You to all the volunteers who showed up to run these fantastic events. Terry took some wonderful photos which can be found Here: Feb 20 2021 Telemark Up Down
Team Telemark Values: Adventure, Camaraderie, Integrity and Excellence
Please hand in your raffle ticket stubs and payment this week. Each athlete was responsible for $150 in tickets, if you sold more please hand in payment for all tickets in one payment. Cheque made out to Telemark Nordic Club is the preferred method or cash. A couple of you have paid but not yet handed in ticket stubs, please make that a priority so that we can account for all the stubs well in advance of the draws.
The office lodge has a spreadsheet with all names and the amount owing. Mike or any of the staff can accept payment and stubs. Please hand in your stubs with payment. The prize draws take place at the club on Saturday March 13th.
If you need more time (than Feb 27th) or have any questions please contact Sonya tel: 902-440-5450, email: sonyabridge@gmail.com
