Being in-communication avec our SPA instructor Paul, and he as informed me of an opportunity for some people to take the training course. He has 4 spaces left on a course that he's running for Loughborough Uni on the last weekend in February in the Peak District.

If your interested in this excellent opportunity, let me know ASAP and I'll pass the message on and get it sorted for you!

Price £110 per person [subsidisation is a possibility but I'll chat to our wonderful treasurer for you]
Date: "Last weekend in February" so 26th-27th.

Why? : Single Pitch Award Training is highly useful training if your considering on taking less experienced people out climbing. Naturally it's the precursor to the assessment. And with SPA qualification, its another stepping stone if you want to do any outdoor or group work

Requirement: 15 trad leads outdoors, however if I recall, I think one or two people who did it last year had done fewer than this.

Let me know if your interested!

shotgun...any chance of organising another first aid course as well?

edit: thanks for the pm jcb, will go on annual dinner instead...but how about gauging interest to see if we can get a big enough group for Paul to run another course? (if Paul can fit us in that is)

This is a very good course to take if you can ever see yourself teaching others, not only is it loads of fun but you learn so much. Recommended for anyone thinking of running for committee But having said that if you didnt want to take it just yet you will most likely get another opportunity, so don't fret!
