I am now back from my maternity leave, and am getting my little family ready to migrate to St Moritz for what I’m sure will be another unforgettable season. The first frost has made an appearance here in the Highlands, and it won’t be long until that first bell will toll from Tower.
The diary is packed with events between now and then, with the upcoming Cresta Ball and Madrid Halloween weekend taking place later this month. There are a few other events I want to put on your radar:
A memorial service for Peter will be held at 11.00am on Wednesday 10th December at the London Oratory. Cresta friends are welcome to attend.
Once again Simon Ford is throwing open his doors for Members and friends for the Cresta Down Under.
SMTC Members, families, friends, SLs and potential beginners, for those in the Antipodes or passing through Sydney, we invite you all to:
