i think you'll find BUDGIE is the clubs training offfficer :S :S :S
and not some bloody plastic scouser
i know Budgie is the training officer its a pity you did not take up the offer of learning but then its the real scousers who think they know it all and will not be told otherwise, wil they you do not like to give any slack thts why we all get hung on your rigging its about time i gave you some stick its usually, me on the back end, ha ha, MICK
Interested. Be good practice.
Any way it can be a Monday night?
[quote="SDTate" post=35532]Any way it can be a Monday night?[/quote]
I will ask budgie
I can do from Monday 19th if that helps. Xx
Thank you so muchxx
Interested, I need training
Is this the start date the 19th?
If we can all do the 19th there will be 1 before that to get everyone up to speed before the 19th. We will go over donning and some basic rope skills, ie threading your descender making yourself ready for ascending the rope. Xx
I'm good for the 19th
If the date(s)/time/places can be finalised - I will shoot another circular around :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
Ok so Monday is the 18th lol so can we all still do that xx
I can
I am inx
Do we need are own gear? Or can I borrow some? And is there a charge for the course? Thanks
I'm OK for Monday could I borrow some gear please
We have a number of kits in stores can you make arrangements to get yours 1 soon as we will need to meet before Monday for an hour or so. I can do Friday eve or the weekend xx
I'm good with that
There's usually a£3.00 charge by the sport center but I'm trying to get it freeeeee.
Will keep you posted
Cheers mike
firts off - the UCET basic SRT training = fook awesome
and the foundation skills - are the absolute most important bit - that MUST be taught corretly
and UCET does this brilliantly
now - this is NOT a critiscism - but [ yeah there is always a but ........ ]
could the club include an intermeditate and an advanced session - for the people who are beyond needing to be drilled on " best practice " to clip into a traverse and basic safe descent // assent techniques
it seems - to me at least - that the club just ignores people - once the foundational skills are in place - and advancement is ad-hoc " on the job " - development - with no coherent plan or unified method - to get people to the " next level " - with no bad habits , or ommissions
the reason for this post - is that i has done rigging or assistance on several trips - with people i has never met - and if i ask them what thier SRT experience is :
i get back the answer - i has done the UCET training lessons with budgie etc
and its obvious that the ones that paid attention - do everything they were told - correctly - with no fuss
and its the same in other clubs
but - further development - is " all over the place " - with best practice not always followed and no evidence that anyone has properly given any coherent instruction - just ad-hoc
so - could we think about a pair of lessons - to get people to " next level " and beyond - with a clear structured training plan - that puts everyone at the deseried skill set and knowledge
just like the foundation course - turns utter noviced into people capable of ascend // descent a given rope
i stop here cos its descending to babble
TIA
Hi Andrew the training did contain a lot more than we do now. I found that there was too much for people to remember and most was forgotten. We always ask people to come back on the basis course to help to teach where I find they learn a lot more, unfortunately we haven't done any for some time. I apologise. We can look at extra training so if you or anyone has any suggestions let me know.
