This is a little off-group, so I shall keep it short, but it may be
of relevance to readers of these groups in the Cambridgeshire and
Hertfordshire (and close-by) areas.
I can recommend this as an easy, cheap and friendly way of getting
some teaching and practice for skiing or snowboarding. Unfortunately,
it is under threat. See

petition and pass on if you think fit.

Nick Maclaren.
