local youth service providers and companies from the ski & snowboard
industry.

offering a short work placement in your company or organisation, we
would love to hear from you. Whether it is in a youth & community
group, an office, a shop, a ski centre or at this years Metro Ski &
Snowboard Show, all opportunities will be welcomed!

Graham Bell to host 2011 City Drinks
event
Snow-Camp supporter Graham Bell has kindly agreed
to host our 3rd Annual Snow-Camp City Drinks evening, on 29th June 2011.
This event has been a fantastic way to engage City and corporate
support for Snow-Camp's work (as well as being very enjoyable!) and
we will be making sure this year's event is the
best yet! It certainly has the best venue to date,
as Norton Rose LLP have generously offered their spectacular roof
terrace overlooking the City as a venue for the evening.
City Drinks 2011 will
involve brief presentations and a short movie about Snow-Camp's
work, an auction and raffle to raise funds for the charity and
opportunities to find out about getting your company involved in our
corporate sponsorship programmes. Drinks and canapes will be
served, and we would love to see over 150 corporate and City
individuals attending. If you are interested in attending please email
dan@snow-camp.org.uk

Myles Robinson
Memorial Trust
 ...and
from our oldest supporter, to our newest. This month we are delighted
to announce that the Myles Robinson Memorial Trust has begun a
partnership with Snow-Camp making an initial grant of £3,000 to support
the charity.
Myles'
life was tragically cut short whilst on holiday in Wengen on 22
December, 2009. Myles' great passion in his life was his love of sport,
primarily golf, skiing and water polo, and Snow-Camp is very proud to
have been selected to be one of three charities to be supported by the
Trust. To read more about the work of the Trust and the Wengen Story,
please see the website below.
