We know - he's a fixed heeler... but we're sure he'll see the light!! ä 
TeamGB Telemark News Site updated: 5 April 2008 Apr 08 FOR YOUR DIARY - 2008 TeamGB Selection Week dates... 24 May to 1 Jun. See '08 Selection Details' tab for more information or click here. Mar 08 Final World Cup standings... See www.telemarkski.org and follow links. (You'll need to use your imaginations on name spellings!)
Feb 08 Great results at the Europa Cup.... TeamGB sent 3 racers to the Europa Cup which took place on 21 and 22 Feb in Valdezcaray, Spain. The Spanish hosts put on an excellent event and the Rioja flowed like water by night, which seemed to improve Andrew Clarke and Mark Murray's skiing the more they drank! Clarke recorded a brilliant 10th place in the Sprint Classic on Day 1, with Murray coming in 13th and Andy Salter (who competed last year but hadn't competed this year until now) 14th. Sadly Clarke could not build on his good start, bombing out of the course 3 from home on the second day, but Murray and Salter maintained British spirits with good finishes. TeamGB would like to extend huge thanks to the event organisers whom they feel have set the benchmark for future World and Europa Cup events. Team Selection.... Selection for the TeamGB 2008/09 squad will take place on a glacier somewhere in early June 2008. Let us know via the Contact tab if you want to be a contender! Photos on this site... Please bear with us whilst we update our photos - the ones you currently see are of the 2007 'scruffy and unsponsored, but no less determined' TeamGB. The latest ones will show our fantastic race suits and equipment and are well worth coming back to see! Shep the Seahat retires ... The oldest man on the team, Dave Shepheard (b. 1906ish), has decided to call it a day. Shep, who is one of lifes enthusiasts, has been a huge support to the team since it's revival and competed in both the 2007 and 2008 seasons. We wish him well in the future and hope that he will continue to free the heel whenever the opportunity arises. 2 TeamGB telemarkers off to the US... Andrew Clarke and Mark Perkins are off to Sugarbush, Vermont to compete in the last World Cup event of the season (over 18,19, 20 and 21 Mar). Watch this space.... Army Telemark website online.... Please click here for all things Army Telemark from now on. Jan 08 Army Telemark Championships.... The first ever Army Telemark Championships took place from the 5th to the 15th of January 2008 and was a resounding success. 67 telemarkers, from total-novice-never-even-skied-before's to seasoned old wrinklies, trained and competed in Rauris, Austria. Dec 07 TeamGB gets Official Sponsors... In a huge improvement on the 2007 season TeamGB now has sponsors, including Junkigear, Motassist, Justeel and Imagesource (links via Sponsorship tab) who have provided a mixture of hard cash and equpiment. Motassist provided us with 2 very smart and, more importantly, roomy, cars in the early stages of the circuit saving endless drama with luggage allowance on flights and the prohibitive expense of hiring vehicles in each country. Those sponsors who gave money have allowed us to buy a team race suit/jacket etc etc (more on 2008 Season tab), thus hugely helping with making us look and feel the part. We, of course, send huge thanks you's to our wonderful sponsors and hope they'll stick around for years to come. Nov 07 TeamGB all systems go for 2008... It has been comfirmed that TeamGB will compete in Slovenia, Czech Republic, Norway, Finland, Spain and the US in 2008 season.
