I had put a list of names up on the initial post on the official outings section but this has been removed so i will let ye sort out numbers yourselves as i will not be in attendance.

Evan and Conor are running this so i'm sure they will let ye all know in time who's on it and who's not.
A good way to find out is to come along to the pool session friday night and help out.

I thought the course was good, a lot covered on being rescued (this one being most likely for me Wink

) and carrying out rescues.

Thanks to Conor and Evan for organising and for their instruction. cheers

Pity that there wasn't more water on the Clydagh for the course. I don't think there ever has been so little water around the gates. Sad

A great course and well presented by Evan&Conor.Learned excellent safety and accident, procedures.The ropes & knots were enlighting to say the least.
Again many thanks to Evan & Conor for a great days training.

Well done to Evan and Conor for running the course. Highly enjoyable and informative.

Maybe its just as well the mighty clydagh didn't have much water in it, it gave us some chance of pulling off throwrope rescues!

Thanks again.
