Friday 4 December 2009 was a red letter day for the London Region Nordic Ski Club (LRNSC) when they were honoured to welcome Angelo Corradini, General Secretary of Worldloppet, to their annual dinner. In his talk, Angelo spoke of the continuing growth and success of Worldloppet and also brought his listeners up to date with the preparations for the 2013 Nordic World Ski Championships, which will take place in the Val di Fiemme.
The London club was founded in 1981 and has grown steadily over the years to its present level of 200 members. Many of these take part in marathon races and the Club numbers 23 Worldloppet Masters, some of them multiple Masters, and two Global Worldloppet skiers, amongst its members. Numerous Worldloppet passport holders attended the dinner, all of whom will be seeking to complete their gold or silver medals in the coming winters.
