Ski success for RADC

The Royal Army Dental Corps (RADC) has had a very successful winter on the snow. For the first time, nine RADC personnel competed at the 1(UK) Divisional Ski Championships, with Captain Kat Campbell leading a female team to success in the Nordic (cross country) Championships.

Major Nikki Porter then took an RADC team on to the prestigious Army Ski Championships before captaining the Army Ladies Ski Team to victory in the Interservices Cup.

At the Army Medical Services Ski Championships, the RADC were the form team in the Alpine Events, comprehensively winning both the Slalom and Giant Slalom races. For the second year running the winner of the best overall skier at the event was an RADC skier: this year's 'Assassin' was Major Nick Gibbs. As in previous years, the support given by Dentsply was invaluable in helping the RADC bring on novice skiers and junior soldiers.
