With 2017 beginning, here's what has been going on in the last 12 months. We welcomed many beginners to the sport of roller skiing and cross-country skiing and led the 'birth' of laser-rollerski-biathlon in England. We had some excellent races both on tarmac and snow, and saw the GB cross-country skiers scale new heights. Roller skiing also cropped up in many odd places, including on the road to Rio and a controversial television advert.
Who knows what will happen in 2017, but it's sure to be another interesting year. We hope you can be part of it -
