Ski week still on

Skiing
The Navy Ski Week 2003 (incorporating the Interservice Selection Trials) set down for August 3-10 at Mt Buller, is definitely on said the chairman of championships, LCDR Adrian Pay.
The ADF Sports Council (ADFSC) has given the individual services, and the ADF Alpine Snowsports Assn (ADFASA), a waiver to conduct their championships for 2003 (DGDETD Minute 153/03, 8 May 03).
LCDR Pay further said that this year’s championships would be one of the best, with in-snow accommodation at the RAN Ski Club lodge, a great resort at which to participate and the cheapest in snow rates ever.
Spaces are still available and all details are on the Navy Alpine Snowsports website at www.navyski.asn.au or from LCDR Pay at adrian.pay@defence.gov.au or (02) 9359 3476.

RAN Ski Club
The Australian White Ensign is flying over Thredbo Village in the Snowy Mountains of NSW.
At the annual general meeting at the club’s lodge at Thredbo on May 17, members raised the ensign on the new flag pole installed at the lodge.
Traditionally the club patron has been the Chief of Navy, and VADM Chris Ritchie has recently accepted the invitation to continue this tradition.
In its 50th year, the Club now has a membership of around 1,400 and lodges at Mount Buller, Perisher Valley and Thredbo Village.
The club is a ‘not for profit’ limited company and receives no financial assistance from Navy. It is run by the members on a voluntary basis. Costs are kept to a minimum by members attending working parties in the summer months and by people using the lodges being asked to clean up after themselves.
The club has a web site containing information about the club and how to join. (www.ranskiclub.com.au)
