BHPA Club Coach training course - 24th - 25th March 2007

Tinto Hotel, Symington.

"If you feel you would like to put something back into the sport, to help others through situations you may have found yourself in, or if you find yourself helping others but are unsure of what you should be saying or doing, then become a coach. Helping somebody off the hill can create a daunting feeling of responsibility and the coaching course will give you the confidence to do this safely. Attending a course will also help with your own flying and your understanding of the sport." Source of the quote.

What better reasons are there to enrol for the Club Coach than those? - Enrol now by contacting Sean - for course which is being run next weekend at Tinto Hotel. There are still places to be filled and the more who attend the better. Bring Pen and Paper.

This is being co-ordinated by Sean Figgitt - who can be contacted directly on :- 01294 551403 or 07765 884225

This is the first course of its type that has been run in Scotland for 3 years !! - and as such represents an ideal opportunity for you to receive some subsidised training. Naturally pilots from Northern England are cordially invited as well.

Cost: SHPF members have been subsidised for the course, so you will not have to pay the BHPA fee, (£25) but there will be approx £6.00 each to pay for the 2 days of lecture room hire.

Also we have made a deal with the hotel for people staying over night - The rooms will be £27.50 per person per night provided that twin/ double room are shared, breakfast is also included, if you require rooms please book direct with the hotel, and make sure that you mention that you are with the paragliding party, that way you can take advantage of the deal on offer.

If that is a bit steep for your budget, then I have enclosed a list of other accommodation options. Also there will be soup and sandwiches made available at lunch time for the group if required @ £4.50 per head, this facility has to be booked early so the kitchen can cater for numbers, so please can you let me know soonest if you want the midday meal. All these costs will be paid direct to hotel by individuals.
