ARMY WINTER SPORTS ASSOCIATION REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024

INTRODUCTION

  1. The Army Winter Sports Association (AWSA) was founded (as the Army Ski Association) in 1947. Since then it has encouraged generations of Army service personnel to take to the snow and ice. It has been instrumental in organising competitions from novice to the highest levels of proficiency. Many of its members have gone on to represent the Army and their country at the Olympic Winter Games and in other national and international events.

  2. The AWSA’s task, as it was in 1947, is to encourage service personnel to participate in Winter Sports; to develop their skills in a chosen discipline; and to test themselves in demanding conditions, thereby fostering self-discipline, fitness, courage and teamwork. Winter Sports contribute directly to military output and fighting spirit, are an essential part of decompression from operations and remain an important element of the moral component.

  3. The Association has some 1800 members and a full programme of events. It receives direction from the UK Armed Forces Sports Board (UKAFSB) and Army Sport (formally the Army Sports Control Board (ASCB)).

  4. AWSA Disciplines . The AWSA comprises 8 different Disciplines detailed below:

  5. a. Alpine.

  6. b. Bobsleigh.

  7. c. Cresta.

  8. d. Luge.

  9. e. Nordic (Biathlon and Cross Country).

  10. f. Skeleton.

  11. g. Snowboard.

  12. h. Telemark.

  13. Charitable Status . The AWSA is a Public Limited Company number 7890840 and achieved Charitable Status in March 2012 Charity Number 1146256. This charter reflects the legal construct laid down in the regulations with the Charity Commission and Companies House.

MISSION

MAJ GEN D CROOK – CHAIR’S REPORT 23/24

  1. General . Over the course of the year, we faced increasing in-year financial pressures with all areas of the Army's budget again under constant scrutiny. Army Winter Sports have fought a number of close battles over the past 6-months to not only save funding, but I would suggest the survival and existence of winter activity as an Army activity. The fact that we had a very highprofile President in CGS, an active and engaged Vice Chair and a team of hard working individuals behind the scenes owes a lot to the fact we were able to celebrate in such numbers at our seasons launch in Oct.

  2. Over recent years we corralled the wider AWSA enterprise which now includes all Corps level activity and I can report that were 38 exercises deployed across Europe this season with numbers in attendance as high as they have ever been. Testament to this the Qualifying Championships were oversubscribed by 250 applications against a capacity of 500. As things stand, I believe we can only focus a year at a time and whilst we have strengthened our long-term

AWSA Trustees Report 23/24 - 4

position as a leading sport in the Army’s portfolio and remain a valuable training activity for the Army chain of command, we are always in the gaze of financial scrutiny.

  1. Elite Athletes . I think we were all aware of the outstanding performances of our athletes over the past couple of seasons. We currently have 1 athlete on the various Elite Athlete programmes, and 4 receiving Army Sport Scholarships. Capt Marcus Webb continues to work with the BBU in Nordic and Biathlon on a pathway to the 2026 Olympics with three further Nordic athletes in the pipeline.

  2. Sponsors. There is little doubt that Army Winter Sports could not survive without the generosity of our sponsors. I would once again like to formally thank our Direct Sponsors for their continued support, and those sponsors who sit within the Indirect construct through Army Sport and MSE for your substantial support to the Association, specifically those who increased their support for the year; this proved hugely beneficial against the increasing costs we are all experiencing both at home and in Europe.

I must also welcome our old friends from Team Army and those potential sponsors who sit in the wings as work is undertaken to develop a closer working relationship between Army Sport, MSE and Team Forces that we hope will see benefits for us all. And finally, to our ‘Friends of the AWSA’; Your collective support is hugely appreciated.

  1. Summary . All that remains is to keep our fingers crossed that climate change and the weather do not combine to make the Alpes more suitable to mountain biking that skiing this winter. I look forward to seeing you all at some point on snow this season. The Association is in excellent order.
