London Snow Show + learn to roller ski

Photo: A KenyonBusy, busy!  That was the London Snow Show at ExCel last weekend for all the Club volunteers and coaches, aided by Jordan Andrews and BNDS members.  And alongside us were RAF Nordic with their SkiErgs and laser rifles to promote biathlon.

Our ace team gave out information on roller skiing and cross country skiing, while managing participants and equipment so our coaches could deliver sell-out roller ski tasters. The Club was definitely waving the flag for nordic skiing at this event!

If you want to learn to roller ski in west London there's a taster session on 27/10 and a new learn to roller ski course starts on 3/11.  We also offer beginner roller ski sessions in the Cambridge area.  Regular coaching for improver and intermediate skiers takes place at both venues.
