Although skiing
is generally a fuel free method of transport - excluding
the odd Glühwein - the current UK petrol crisis has
halted British Ski and Snowboard Federation plans
to host the British Artificial Championships at Wycombe
Summit this weekend (16/17 September).
The annual slalom
and giant slalom event had attracted entries from
224 competitors, aged 15 to 50, from as far afield
as Aviemore, Sunderland and Llandudno - not to mention
the now legendary Dublin entry.
All have been left
high and dry in the run up to what would have been
the premier event on the UK Dry Slope calendar.
Organisers are
now faced with the challenge of rescheduling the event
in an already packed events calendar.
The planned British
Team fundraising aution, will also be postponed.
