Pendle Ski Club News

The Club held it’s usual pre-season open day on Sunday 6th October and the final figure is in – an amazing 203 taster sessions held throughout the day! A massive thank you must go to everyone who helped make the day a great success. Thanks too, to Dave Ryding for visiting and to Victoria from Snow Sport England for all her support. It was great to get so many positive comments about our club, see so many new faces and, of course, the old. Here’s to a great season!

An action-packed morning in which we saw 99 relay races, no injuries (phew!) and friends old and new from around the north of England. A special mention for our new WRL participants – Tigers from Sunderland and Scorpions from Stoke.
Pendle had 8 teams with 26 participants and came away with 5 medal-winning teams. Congratulations to all for excellent skiing, you have made your coaches proud. In the U10’s both Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws made the podium with 1st & 3rd respectively. U13’s Demdikes took gold medal position, U19’s Nutters topped the ratings and in the U99 The Pendle Witches drove the fastest broomstick. Excellent performances from Chattoxs, Devices and Pride of Pendle were not enough for podiums this time.
You will all have noticed the new team names. Some of our older racers were tasked with re-branding the teams and decided upon Harry Potter themes for the U10’s, historic witches of Pendle Hill for the U13 & U19’s, and the Moorhouse Brewery range of Lancashire beers for the U99’s.
Check your diaries and keep November 2nd free for the next one if you can.
