Bluebird Ski Club, Norwich

I was very excited to be going back to Norwich after more than 10 years have past since my last visit, where does the time go. Simon Wooldridge the Chairman of the Bluebird Club and I talked about putting another coaching day after his trip out to our school in Orlando last Easter. I was very Intriged about being to work with some deaf skiers after learning that the club catered for the deaf which accounted for arround 30% of BlueBirds membership.
I was able to catch up and stay with a good friend of mine Matt Becker from Lotus Cars who also skis at the BlueBird lake, although is a member of the Norwich Ski Club who share the water with Bluebird. Both clubs use the lake three days a week each and have alternate use on the 7 day, amazing really that two clubs have found away to share one piece of water for the enjoyment and sport of water skiing.
There is a tramendous enthusiasum at this club and a broard spectrum of performance and age which really high lights the history in a club and the love for the sport gained by all involved.
I feel extremely privilaged to have had this opportunity to work with some of the deaf skiers and thurily enjoyed my visit to this wonderful club.
I will deffinately be returning next season to coach if Bluebird are keen to host another fantastic day on the water continuing to build and strengthening the foundation of this sport in the UK as they have for so many year to date.
Great work Bluebird, keep up your fantstic efforts in the sport!

Mike and the members of Bluebird enjoying the beautiful British summer atleast for that day!

Malcolm,a deaf skier and a new comer to the sport and could not get enough of it. Fanastic to see Malcolm, keep up the great skiing my friend!
Thank you to Sue for the sign language, I would have deffinately struggled with the coaching without your great help!
