ESSKIA and the racing year; Out going Race Secretary (Rob Robson)

As the Race Secretary it all starts around January when you start confirming slopes for the qualifiers wondering as to whether the same people you spoke with the year before are still in management at the various places. Once that is done and Area Organisers are happy the Bulletins start to go.

As you are all no doubt in the picture ESSKIA have moved onto the e-mailing process of entries etc. Contrary to the beliefs of some schools it does work and is getting better on both sides. Along with the entries we introduced the BACS way of payment; again this is working. Who knows what we will do next?

Anyway down to the races! This year’s Qualifiers were a sell out with a 10% increase in entries across the board which in layman’s terms is around 100 more athletes which is superb and your Area Organisers need to be congratulated.

We had the British Finals this year in Stoke on, dare I say, a warm sunny November day. Again the day was fantastic and it ran very smoothly allowing both Scottish and Welsh teams to get home at a reasonable time.

The athletes overall were a credit to your schools and should be congratulated as such. I would also like to thank you all (Head Masters/Mistresses, Teachers, Coaches, Parents and Committee members) as without you these races would not run as well.

Sadly this is my last report as Race Secretary and I hope you give the same support to Mark Vernon (Reed’s School) as you have to me and I look forward to seeing our Athletes, Coaches, Teachers and parents at many more ESSKIA races.
