We've got Nigel Smee from Mediact coming to give a specialist first aid course for those of us who might have to deal with an incident in remote areas. It's a very well done and interesting course, also quite fun.
All instructors must do such courses and I would highly recommend it to all pilots - accidents are a fact in this and other outdoor sports and it's good to have the knowledge to confidently deal with an injured person, and to know that your friends know what to do in case it's you.

Carlo Borsattino will be heading an informal presentation on leaving the hill for the first time... with the usual audience participation. The new season is just getting underway, and this meeting is directed at those pilots whose desire it is to go XC from our sites for the first time, or those that just need an update. Weather forecasts, equipment, picking your time, airspace; whatever your questions or concerns with "leaving the hill", come and digest some words of wisdom over a beer.
