LATEST NEWS

We regret that there are a number of technical problems with some of the pages on this website! For various reasons not all the pages have been updated and others have "lost" some of their graphics. However this home page is unaffected and will continue to be updated correctly!

Due to other commitments the Webmaster is unlikely to be able to rectify the glitch until mid May - sorry!

Since we first published the Olympic Roll of Honour a decade ago, we have been aware that there were some errors & omissions. Changes trickle in and we believe that we are now 98% correct! We always welcome your amendments and would particularly like to hear from anyone who can confirm the following details:

1948:  First names & Unit (presumably RMA Sandhurst?) of OCdts Parkinson (Alpine) and Walker (Winter Pentathlon). Indeed; was Parkinson even in the GBR team - he is not in the official results? Unit of Maj Percy Legard, and was he still in the Army at the time and, also from Winter Pentathlon, Maj Derek Allhusen - was he still in the Army?

1960:  Unit of Capt Robin Seel (Bobsleigh)

The Spring Meeting of the AWSA Management Board, which was postponed due to the Icelandic volcano, has been rescheduled and will be held in Aldershot on Thu 20 May. For full details & Agenda click here.

The 2010 AGM and Cocktail Party (and Autumn Management Board Meeting) will be held at the Cavalry & Guards Club, Piccadilly, London on Wed 27 Oct. More info will follow in due course.

The first "HARZ CHALLENGE" of 2010 will be held in Germany from 17 - 25 Jul. For details of a great biathlon opportunity click here.

The Olympians are a unique Club of male and female athletes who have represented Great Britain in the Olympic & Olympic Winter Games. Membership is free, but only a handful of the Army's many Olympians ever attend any of their functions! This year the AGM and Lunch, which costs a mere £ 10, will be held at the home of the Army Physical Training Corps (APTC) in Aldershot on Sat 19 Jun - probably at 11:00. The APTC celebrates its 150th Anniversary this year (so is actually 46 years older than the Olympic movement!) and the Olympians will be given a personal tour of the APTC Museum which displays many Olympic and other sporting memorabilia representing those 150 years.

All Army Olympians will be most warmly welcome on the day - especially those who have never attended before. If you would like to attend please Email John (J.A.G.) Moore (OWG 1956, 60, 64). Please also inform him even if you can not attend, but would like to be put on The Olympians mailing list.

Many readers will have been following the rapid demise of SSGB (Snowsport GB - formerly the British Ski & Snowboard Federation) which went heavily into debt last year, and then into administration just before the Olympic Winter Games and is now in the process of liquidation.

From the ashes and with the support of the BOA "British Ski & Snowboarding" (BSS) has risen. Much background on this is provided by Lord Colin Moynihan who is acting as interim Chairman in a statement issued last month. Obviously all reference and links to SSGB in our website have lapsed and BSS does not yet have its own website however some further information can be obtained through www.britski.org.

BSS is responsible as the UK's National Governing Body for Alpine (including Telemark), Cross Country and Freestyle skiing plus Snowboarding. It has no link to Biathlon or the AWSA's ice sports.

All 3 of the Army's Winter Olympians have returned home from the Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver (although all their events took place in Whistler!).

LCpl Lee JACKSON, 2 YORKS (Green Howards) achieved a personal best in the Biathlon Sprint and thus became the first ever GBR athlete to compete in the Olympic Pursuit. More

Capt Henry NWUME RAMC was a member of the 4 man bob, which, alas, crashed on their third run.  Cpl Paula WALKER R Signals finished 11th racing in GBR II in the 2 man bob.

The 2010 AGM and Cocktail Party (and Autumn Management Board Meeting) will be held in London (Cavalry & Guards Club) on Wed 27 Oct. More info will follow in due course.
