SHARKS SKI TRIP TO WENGEN 2019
The easyJet flights from Manchester to Geneva on Saturday 16th February, returning Saturday 23rd February, are now released. BUT – they are extremely expensive – ie £700 return trip per person. Please remember this is national half term week…!!
We have looked at other options, and Manchester to Basel is cheaper – ie Saturday £325, Friday and Sunday are even cheaper. There is only 1 flight on each day.
Consequently, it appears that people are looking at alternative flight and travel, therefore at this stage I am unable to say that we can organise transfers for you. Please remember that the price DID NOT include transfer. We did originally think that if we all arrived at Geneva at the same time, we would organise a coach, but the cost of the coach would have been divided amongst us all.
All I can advise at this moment, is – please let me know when you have booked your flight and to which airport. I can then co-ordinate groups and advise or help arrange pickups for you If there is only a few of you at an airport, then it may well be cheaper for you to catch the train.
The trains run direct from Geneva and Basel airports, to Lauterbrunnen (your destination). If you need any advice on train travel, then please contact me and I will put you in touch with the Halls who are very experienced in travelling by train from both Geneva and Basel.
I am also advised that self-drive is approximately £600 for tunnel and road charges.
Thank you,
Molly, on behalf of the holiday committee.
we will be joined by our very own Rob Machon fresh from a season working for the Warren Smith Ski Academy as a IASI 3 instructor, to give us an introduction to freestyle!
What’s more, he will be joined by Pyeongchang 2018 Olympians and Sharks Ski Club members,
Peter Speight, Molly and Katie Summerhayes!
This is a session not to be missed so make sure you book on via the website as normal…

Hi Sharks
Two upcoming fun slalom races to announce:
PENDLE
FUN TEAM SLALOM EVENT
The final meeting in Pendle’s Winter Race League is Saturday 3rd March. Please register your interest with me now as I’ll be submitting the teams Thursday 1st March.
This is a fun Slalom event traditionally well represented by ‘Sharks’. The order of the day will be team relay and is open to all ages and abilities from the Under Sixes to the Over Sixties!
This really is a fun morning of tag slalom racing which evokes a fantastic team spirit and is a great introduction to racing without the normal race day pressures of the more formal events. Expect lots of action, you won’t be stood around for long, and we’re finished by lunch time!
Aim to be there for 8:00 to 8:15am if you want to get in a few invaluable practice runs prior to events starting 8:45 to 9:00am.
The entry fee is only £10 plus £3 for kit hire if required. Should you need more information please e-mail me: paul@moonlight-textiles.co.uk or text/message me on 07774 845 444 (under 18’s please copy in a parent/guardian
STOKE
FUN SLALOM EVENT
The first of Festival Park Ski Clubs Summer Race League kicks off on Saturday 10thMarch. Either pre-register or enter on the day but do remember to e-mail your intent to stokeskiraces@hotmail.com – all the registration details are shown within the Race Poster. Feel free to keep me in the loop so I have an idea of who is attending.
The format will be two individual timed runs through a slalom course to determine how you stand within your age group on the day. You’d then be placed into groups of four according to your quickest timed run for the second session of the day, dual slalom head to head races – very exciting and great fun!
The event is open to all ages and abilities, they’re fun, they’re not pressured, you’d be amongst friends and I’d love as many of you as possible to attend, you wouldn’t regret it – ask around!
As always, should you need more information please e-mail me: paul@moonlight-textiles.co.uk or text/message me on 07774 845 444 (under 18’s please copy in a parent/guardian).
appy Skiing!
Paul Smith
Race Team Manager
Dear All,
as the more observant among you will have noticed, we are in the middle of the Winter Olympics.
You may also be aware that 4 Sharks athletes are competing in the Games this year.
This Saturday Katie Summerhayes will be competing in the Slopestyle Competition (heats at 1am, and final starting at 4am).
We are all so proud of our amazing athletes that we are going to pull an all-nighter in our desperation to shout at our TVs in the early hours in support.
As a result we have decided to cancel this Saturday’s session, but should be back to normal the week after.
Good Luck Katie
