A Long Weekend for 4 at Crackenback Resort – Brooke Darlington

A Long Weekend for 2 at Crackenback Resort – Matt Carkeet

NPWS Annual Park Entry Pass – Warren McCourt

Free entry in the 2013 XC Masters Series events – Bruce Wharrie

The next very special awards were presented to the XC Volunteer and Supporter of the Year.  These are not competitive awards, but recognize the contributions of all volunteers and supporters who make the sport what it is:

Summer Training Commences for Cross Country

NSWXC athletes began their summer training at a Camp in Jindabyne last weekend. The Camp which provided live-in accommodation at the Canberra Alpine Club for athletes travelling from Sydney was a great success.  Head Coach for the weekend, Ben Sim put the athletes through their paces in a weekend that included a 1500m time-trial, roller ski technique and distance skiing, hill bounding and a visit to the Nordic Shelter so the athletes could see how their race tracks looked in the summer and the preparation that needs to be undertaken to turn dry-grassland in summer into a winter wonderland!

The weekend also included the NSWXC 2011-12 season presentation evening with Callum Watson, Alex Almoukov and Matt Bull being recognised for their great performances over the AUS winter
