 Poster: A snowHead
|
To Brae or not to Brae, that is the question...
In past years, when we've arranged ski-tests at MK or Castleford, there have been cries of, "Why no us" from North of the border.
And so here we are, with a grand tour of the Nation, spanning our most Northerly and (almost) most Southerly indoor snowSlopes.
However, of the 4 ski tests we've got organised for this month, Braehead is clearly the one with least interest  Not just the actual sign-ups but the names down as 'mildly' or 'very' interested, are rather few.
These events are not money-makers - they are being arranged for the benefit of the snowHeads community and it's a little ironic therefore that Braehead is also the one that costs me the most to make happen.
Even though I knew that I, wouldn't be able to make this date myselfas I'm committed to a (snowHeads) wedding , I thought you guys would appreciate it so Windymiller, who has been helping out at most of the ski tests, has volunteered to come instead and I'll be covering his costs.
Now, I'm not suggesting that we'll cancel this, scheduled event: on principle, I'll see these things through as a promise once I've committed to them but it's going to be hard to justify coming back again, if we don't see a little enthusiasm to make the time, effort and cost worthwhile. To put it bluntly, it's a 'use it or lose it' scenario.
We had a good hundred pairs of skis at MK yesterday and a good flow of snowHeads trying them out. Some were looking to buy, some were just learning how different skis feel but everyone was having fun.
Personally, I'd like very much to see this working as well as the other venues, I'd like to have the excuse to come up there next time - so I'd like there to be a next time 
So come on! Surely there are a few more of you who'd enjoy an afternoon messing about on skis? If II can make it from Skye and Windymiller from London, surely you've no excuse - it'd be rude not to?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

admin, I would like to have attended but can't, has anyone booked through Ellis Brigham as I looked at their and Snowfactor's websites for information to give a non Snowhead and I couldn't find any. I was at a ski test two years ago and really enjoyed it so anyone not sure about going or thinking about buying new skis this is a great way to test a few. Incidentally I and many other people work Saturdays which means taking a holiday to attend events such as this assuming in my case there is someone to cover for me.

admin, Sadly not everyone is computer friendly but don't worry I let them know all about Snowheads and gave them the information on the ski test.

admin, I haven't pressed the button to say 'I am interested' as I know I can't go. Braehead is best location for me, and I would go, but I am committed to a conference that I cannot get out of (work commitment).
Next year, if there is a Braehead event, I would again be interested but..... every year there are two events for work that are non-negotiable. This year they are November 15/16/17 and November 22/23/24

Likewise, I would normally have been keen to attend this but sadly the date clashes with a close friend's stag do. We do appreciate the effort of organizing something to make us feel included though!
