With over 170 skiers taking to the slopes, and a day that brought us a bit of everything โ€” wind, rain and sunshine โ€” it was another truly special Club Nationals, just as it always is.

A huge thank you to every racer, volunteer, official, coach, parent and supporter who helped make the day such a success. Events like this simply wouldnโ€™t happen without your commitment, enthusiasm and teamwork.

Annie Manning - U12 Ski Racer
(bio in poem form)

From Folie Douce dancing to mountains of white,
Annie first found her skis and pure joy in the light.
At four years old, carving neat parallel lines,
With snow in her soul and adventure in mind. ๐Ÿ”๏ธ

At Stoke she discovered both speed and her flair,
Always in pink with bows in her hair.
Our little Ski Barbie stood proud at the start,
With courage, determination, and a huge racing heart. ๐Ÿ’—

Then Midland Ski Club opened the way,
With podium dreams growing stronger each day.
Rogerโ€™s coaching, teammates, and fun,
A ski family formed that will never be undone. ๐Ÿ’™

From Swadlincote slopes to Pembreyโ€™s fast line,
Llandudno adventures where friendships still shine.
Rossendale podiums and Welsh Champs so fast,
Each season improving on the one that has passed. ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ

At Rossendale she flew to a brilliant top place,
First in category with speed, style, and grace.
In Pembrey and Stoke she kept charging ahead,
With determination and courage in every turn led. ๐Ÿ†

From Welsh Championships to GBR race days,
She keeps finding speed in so many ways.
Llandudno weekends, indoor battles, and more,
Always coming back wanting faster than before. ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿผ

Then Wales Ski Academy called Annieโ€™s name,
With dragon-heart courage in every race game.
Uniq soon became a place close to her heart,
Where snow racing dreams truly started to spark.๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ–ค

In Bormio she raced beneath Alpine skies blue,
And Olympic dreams suddenly grew too.
Now coached by legends Dave Ryding and Billy Major as well,
Keeping alive the dream she carries so well.

Though one small truth should also be told,
Behind all the medals and courage so boldโ€ฆ
โ€œSorry, I missed it โ€” race prep took time!โ€
Is Annieโ€™s well-practised and favourite line.
Her school bag holds goggles, race gloves, and snacks,
But completed homework? โ€ฆ well, sometimes that lacks! ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿคช

Yet whether in Midlands blue or dressed head-to-toe pink,
Annie races with joy before most would blink.
Always cheering teammates wherever she goes,
With the biggest smile at the end of each course. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Midland Ski Club sits proud at the heart,
But Stoke, Uniq, and Wales all played their part.
An extended ski family wherever she roams,
For Annie has found many mountains called home.

From tiny skis in Tignes snow at only age two,
Max found his edges, and off he flew.
At three with ESF Ourson proudly complete,
He chased the big boys on determined little feet.

Jon led the charge, Max close behind,
Too young for the Snowdome โ€” or so theyโ€™d remind.
Yet gates were calling, and races began,
With Joe and Roger helping shape the young man.

Ackers at four, first bib, first run,
Still chasing Jon and Huw for fun.
Then Covid paused the mountain air,
But not the passion growing there.

Back came training, stronger and bold,
Through ESF levels to Etoile dโ€™Or gold.
At seven forerunning with fearless flair,
Club Nationals and winter leagues everywhere.

CESA Tri Cups, Midland Schools too,
Two years champion in Under 10s through and through.
Alongside best mate Elliot, grins side by side,
With speed in his skis and Midlands pride.

At eight came nationals, the next big scene,
Plus ski cross silver โ€” fast, fearless, keen.
Then onto TV screens with Harper in tow,
For CBEEBIESโ€™ โ€œI Can Do Itโ€ show.

Schools finals followed, then Bormio snow,
English Childrenโ€™s races in slalom and GS flow.
Gressoney adventures with Florence and Walter too,
And Jon still ahead โ€” just barely in view.

Now Santa Caterina and GB Childrenโ€™s await,
Another big chapter, another start gate.
Still chasing Jon โ€” but not for long,
Next year together, where they both belong.

Another great day for Midland Ski Club with lessons learned and our racers leaving everything on the hill at Hillend. โ›ท๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช

Flo Harwood - U14 Racer Bio
(In style of a poem)
๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

From Italyโ€™s peaks in January snow,
With Esprit Ski, she first would go,
A tiny girl with eager eyes,
Chasing dreams beneath the skies.

Then July on Welwynโ€™s hill,
Dry slope bristles, iron will,
Her first sharp turns, her first brave glide,
The spark of racing born inside.

By 2019 we all took flight,
A family bound by snow and white,
Year by year through ski school days,
She carved her lines through winter haze.

Till 2023 changed the game,
And skiing never stayed the sameโ€ฆ
(Thatโ€™s when spare time disappeared!)
As racing fever firmly steered.

She trained with Stoke, found speed and fire,
Each run would lift her spirit higher,
At Uniq camp in Llandudno snow,
The racing dream began to grow.

Then Telford races โ€” what a sight,
Young Flo attacked each turn just right,
Overall first U10 girl,
A golden moment, flags unfurled.

And from that day it all took flight,
A whirlwind climb, a pure delight.
CN races, Copper Horse too,
GBR starts she battled through.

Second overall U12 girl,
Across the 24/25 world,
In Pila racing NSSA,
She found her confidence each day.

Then Gressoney became her home,
With Sci Club colours she would roam,
Club Champion not once but twice,
24/25โ€ฆ then 25/26.

But medals only tell one part,
For skiing lives within the heart,
The friendships made beside the track,
The laughs, the lifts, the journeys back.

With Midland club she found her team,
A second family chasing dreams,
Through early mornings, endless miles,
Shared determination, shared smiles.

Her dad beside her all the way,
Driving, fixing, day by day,
Standing proud in snow and rain,
Through every triumph, every strain.

And Roger too, with guiding hand,
Helping Flo to understand,
That racingโ€™s more than wins alone โ€”
Itโ€™s courage, grit, and how youโ€™ve grown.

Now stepping up with U14,
Among the โ€œbig girlsโ€ on the scene,
And still she rises, calm and bold,
With silver won at Llandudno cold.

Top 15 โ€” the journey grows,
And nobody yet quite knows,
How far this fearless girl will ski,
But what a ride itโ€™s been to see.
