2022 Race Results

Period 1
Thanks to Hamish Mackay for stepping up as parent co-ordinator for period 1. For the first time in many years we had 2 instructors for the period, enabling the kids to be split based upon ability. The kids formed friendships and the parents bonded. Some nervous kids took to the NASTAR race on the second last day, everyone having lots of fun. The development program was a highlight. Thanks to Jasper, Maurits & Lloyd for their combined instruction and providing a fun program. The kids just love skiing together and developing their skills as a club group.

Our three fastest skiers for the period were
Jarvis Blue
Charmian Goodsir
Saskia MacKay.

Period 2
Thanks to Mike Bailey for stepping up as the period 2 parent co-ordinator. We had 3 instructors for the period, Jasper, Maurits and Lloyd. The kids loved them. Surprisingly, there were still no crowds, the weather was good and the snow great. The club race had to be moved to a shortened Rossignol Race course which was a little daunting for some.

Our three fastest skiers for the period were
Juliette Bailey
Eloise Bailey
Riley Mawhinney.

Period 3
Thanks to Catriona Graham for stepping up as parent co-ordinator. Once again, there were still no crowds, the weather was good and the snow great. The TAC club race was held on Monday 11th with the Thredbo Junior Interclub race held on Tuesday 12th.
 
Our three fastest skiers for the TAC Club race were
Will Graham,
Olivia Clifford

Period 4
Thanks to Jerome Yim & Mark Lenzner for stepping up as the parent co-ordinators for period 4.
There were about 14 kids in the ski program. Great fun was had by all and it was pleasing to see a lot of improvement over the week while at the same time the more advanced kids were well catered for.

Kids Presentation – Barefoot Bowls at The Greens North Sydney
On the back of a terrific 2022 School Holiday Development Program and Junior Interclub races, we held the presentation day at The Greens North Sydney where we did some barefoot bowling and the 2022 season trophy presentation for the various periods and male/female junior club champions.
 
Firstly, I have to thank my wife Annick for stepping in and doing set up and running the day for me (whilst I was at Phillip Island for the Moto GP) and our Chair Angela Brooks for also stepping in to help with set up and running the trophy presentations.We had a fantastic turn out with around 50 people.

Unfortunately, due to ill health, Sandy Dawson couldn’t attend this year to present the Katrina Dawson trophy. It is sadly noted that Sandy passed away only a few weeks after the presentation. I have read and heard many beautiful things said about Sandy in the press. Many of you will have known Sandy better than I, so all I can say is he always graciously made time in his busy schedule to be available for the kids presentation which I know he loved.
 
Once again it was lovely to have Andy Neil present the Junior Male Champion trophy.

Have a great summer/winter, Christmas/New Year, keep up your fitness and keep thinking about skiing.
