Here are some suggestions to help you organise this

Organise the classroom for daytime on eg Sat and then go to eg Petes place for the pratical part in the afternoon (need a hillclimb, descent, sideling and water crossing if possible from memory.....maybe PM mike and see what his requirements are) and stay there in the evening and go playing in the mud on Sunday.

Need to look at meeting points for everyone as well and what people need ie towhooks, recovery gear etc, what facilities are there eg loo running water etc and what will people need to bring? What trip rules do you want to have on the trip .... 2 i usually stipulate are no drinking and driving and proper rated hooks if people are playing in the mud/harder bits. what are the trip fees as well. Ask Mike how he will be travelling up (if he is coming up) and what transport he needs.

Having done this course its well worth it.....and its subsidised as well ....all you normally have to pay is the NZQA registration fee if you haven't already registered and of course the mike beer tax (speights) and anything else he will want Laughing

Good on ya for pulling finger and organising this...see its easy....I think you will be expected to organise another trip after this Laughing

Was thinking if you guys want the nzqa certificate part then what do think about the weekend of the 8,9th of march?
