Winter Olympics Code Breaker Winter Olympics Code Breaker Amazing Winter Olympic Stories • In the 1988 Winter Olympics, Jamaica entered its first team in the bobsleigh, which was amazing as they had to practise without snow in Jamaica! It was such a great story that it inspired the 1993 film ‘Cool Runnings’. • From 1929 until 1988, Team GB had no ski jumpers; that was until Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards came along in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Canada. He came last but was a British ski jump record holder, going on to become a TV personality and stunt skier. In 2016, the film ‘Eddie the Eagle’ was released telling his story. • Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean are two of Team GB’s most famous Winter Olympic stars, having won the gold medal in 1984 with their ‘Bolero’ ice dance. They were world champions three times, British Champions seven times and both have MBEs. They now underpin the TV show ‘Dancing on Ice’.

I like to thank all the board members for all their hard work to make the season a great one. To the trip leaders Diane, Marion, and Dave for running the Elk trips. On February trip I’d like to thank: Diane and Dann Clapp, Charlie Haffey, and Tony Pello for doing all the cooking for our lunch on the mountain. On the March trip to Marion who had designated jobs for people, to pass out bagels and cream cheese, and to the men who cleaned up the trash. We had a great trip to Big Sky, with a day trip to Yellowstone National Park, a sleigh ride to the cabin for dinner, and some of the best snow that you could ever want to ski on. Thanks Kat. Rosemary: for another great year at Stowe, Vermont and the nice party at the end of the week with pizza. Your hard work with all the trip leaders made the year a great one. Board members: VP Greg Blizard, Treasurer: John Flanagan, Recording Secretary: Marianne Haverland, Corresponding Secretary: Kathleen Blinebury, Membership: Dann Clapp, Ski Council and Social: Dot James, Hospitality: Susan Byer, Trip Coordinator: Roe Crowley, Track and web site: Steve DiMeglio.
