The 2010 British Land National Ski Championships, 28^th March – 9^th April 2010

Meribel, France

Team GB (trading as British Ski and Snowboarding) has requested that this event go ahead in Meribel, France.

Through the combined efforts of The Organising Committee; Snowsport England, Snowsport Scotland, Snowsport Wales, British Alpine Racing Ski Clubs and the Chiefs and Assistant Chiefs of Championships, we can now confirm that The 2010 British Land National Championships will go ahead in Meribel as scheduled.

This has only been possible through the support shown by our long standing supporters, Sir John Ritblat and the British Land Company plc, who will join us to celebrate the success of our athletes and watch them display their skills and abilities at the culmination of the season, in Meribel, France.

Vitally important to the ongoing success of this event has been the increased support from the host resort, Meribel.  They have now agreed to a Partnership arrangement in order to ensure the safe running of a full and ambitious programme, which has developed over the years we have been based in Meribel.  Their ability to continually reproduce outstanding events and provide excellent facilities has been the key to this development.  The Partners involved in supporting the Organising Committee are Meribel Tourism, Meribel Alpina and Meribel ESF.

Athletes, coaches and parents, many of whom have already booked accommodation and travel, can now complete the entry with confidence.  Entries will open today, Friday 12^th Feb 2010 and can be accessed online at www.brtiski.org

It will be possible to enter online or via post but online entry is preferable.  Details of who to contact in the event of a query will be given on the entry form uploaded on the Britski website.

Please note that the entry window for FIS International events is 4 weeks and for GBR Children’s Events is 5 weeks.

Sponsors are vital in order to ensure the presence of the British team at the British land National Championships.  We have managed to work through the difficulties of the last few months to reach today’s satisfactory situation where we can now launch this year’s event.  We would welcome further support, and sponsors should contact Dave Edwards CEO of Team GB at EdwardsD@teamgb.com

We thank you once again for your support and patience, and look forward to seeing you all and planning a sound future for Snowsports in Meribel.

Yours                     Maree Rudd (Chief of Championships FIS)
