New LRNSC 40th Anniversary Challenge - sign up now!

Help to celebrate the Club's 40th Anniversary, stay connected in a fun way and achieve some personal goals of your choice.  Our 40th Anniversary Challenge is a new initiative that every member can participate in given we can’t get together in our usual ways on snow &/or roller skis, or socially at the moment.

It runs from 1.2-30.11.21 - you simply choose and complete 10 activities from a big choice of active or alternative options during that period, log your achievements and you'll be included in our roll of honour, receive a digital certificate and be entered into the raffle.

Latest update on restrictions from Snowsport England

Please see the this table from Snowsport England detailing the latest information effective from 20/12/20.

All our roller ski venues are in Tier 4 where group exercise is not allowed - see this infographic from Sport England.

At the next committee meeting on 10/1/21 we hope that revised restrictions will enable us to confirm Club activities for the first quarter, or at least the next month. 

In the meantime stay safe and healthy - Happy New Year!
