A SKI club is to traverse cyberspace with the help of a college.

Harwood Ski Federation director Geoffrey Lloyd has enrolled on a course at Darlington College, in Catterick, North Yorkshire, to develop a club website.

The federation has 150 members, who use part of the Raby Estate, in Upper Teesdale, County Durham.

Mr Lloyd said: "Interest in skiing had been waning over the years, but has been revived by the popularity of snowboarding.

"This has brought in a whole different set of people, particularly a youth element.
