Dear Parent/Carer,

We are delighted to offer 10 lucky pupils the opportunity to participate in 4 fully funded ski lessons at Bearsden Snowsports Club. These lessons are designed specifically for complete beginners, and there is no cost involved for pupils or their families.

Please note that it is essential for pupils to attend all the dates listed below:

• Lesson 1: Tuesday, 22nd October
• Lesson 2: Tuesday, 29th October
• Lesson 3: Tuesday, 3rd November
• Lesson 4: Tuesday, 12th November

Pupils will change into their skiing clothing in the PE changing rooms after school and will then be transported to the Bearsden dry slope, departing at 15:45.

Lessons will run from 16:45 to 17:45, with an expected return to school by 18:40. Please note, lessons will only be cancelled in extreme weather conditions.

As mentioned, these lessons are aimed at complete beginners, and the cost of the club is fully covered. While there is no cost to families, pupils will need to wear appropriate ski clothing, as the lessons will take place outdoors. Please ensure your child is dressed for the weather with the following items:

• Thick waterproof gloves
• Long-sleeved top
• Tracksuit/jogging bottoms or waterproof trousers (no jeans)
• Layers to stay warm/cool
• Waterproof jacket
• Thick, high socks
• Water bottle

All skis, bindings, boots, and poles will be provided by the Snowsports Club.

If you wish your child to be considered for this opportunity, please return the consent form and factsheet by Friday, 27th September.

Should we receive more than 10 applications, participants will be selected at random.

For further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours faithfully,
