can't help but think people who don't know much about skiing would be reluctant to sponsor as it seems to be funding a holiday??

I'd do it for £199 though, how much sponsorship dya think you need to raise?

2800 quid, on top of your 199 registration fee

So, who's going to sponsor me first then :wink:
I would have got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky kids!

freezy, I have a 10 groschen piece that i'm very happy to chuck into the cause. After all, it is for charity. Come on the rest of you.

100 groschen = 1 Austrian schilling
72 Austrian schilling = £1

Not sure I should answer this Adele, on the grounds that it impinges on my possible age. But the answer is 1972. Which, of course means that I was the world's youngest ski instructor, at the age of 2. :shock:

Whoops, just realised that it was 1970. I was probably just out of nappies, when I started working with the red ski school.
