CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR SKIERS AND CREWS IN BELGIUM !!

 

I would like to congratulate all our members who took part in the world championships in Belgium last week.

All did exceptionally well in very testing conditions at 4 different venues. Once again the outstanding performance of the week came from Kim Lumley. She won all four rounds in very convincing style to once become Ladies F1 World Champion for the second time.

The week previous she won the Catalina race in Long Beach California for the 7th time, breaking the woman's record by 5 minutes and coming third overall. Kim has been training since February mainly on the canals in Belgium and the results she has achieved over the last two weeks is down to her hard work and dedication. She is a fantastic ambassador for the sport and we as a club should be very proud of her achievements. The following skiers and crews also competed last week.
