Weekly News Letter - 12th February 2010
** BUMPER TRAINING EDITION **
The AGM - have your say!
The AGM will be held on Monday 19th April - mark the date in your diaries. This meeting is open to all members and is where the club's committee for the next year will be elected, as well as being an opportunity for members to discuss anything they like with the committee and the club as a whole. Venue and time will be confirmed nearer the date, as well as details of committee positions and how to stand for election. Any queries in the meantime should be directed to a member of the committee.
New Year, New Skills!
New Year is a time for new training. Richard will be making a bulk order of training packs to save on postage so let him know if you want to move on to a new course. The training packs page is here:
http://www.bsac.com/shop.asp?section=1423§ionTitle=BSAC+Diver+Traini...
If you're coming from another agency (SSAC, PADI etc) you need the "crossover pack". If you're already trained with BSAC and are wanting to start your Sports Diver, Dive Leader or Advanced Diver course then you will need the Student Notes pack (or possibly the Notes and Manual pack for Dive Leader) let Richard know exactly which pack you will need and he will order them all together.
Training in Swanage
The first training dive of the year will be in Swanage on 8th and 9th May. It's important for trainees to get signed up now so that we can be sure to have enough instructors arranged and arrange what training will be done. So, if you're just starting your course or you have just got a few things to get signed off then make sure you sign up with Anne for this one as soon as possible and let Richard and Georgia know about any training you need.
Exams on 22nd February
Why not get those pesky exams out of the way before the season starts. Anyone who needs to take an exam for their current course should let Richard and Georgia know which exam they wish to take. Exams will be in the back room of the Approach pub from 7pm or poolside from 8:30 (during Octopush though) or even after the pool in the pub. Lots of chances to sit the exam so don't miss out.
We should also put an reminder in the next newsletter that people should put their kit in to be services now, as it can take a few weeks to get it all done.
Club T-shirts
Rob has found 4 club t-shirts from the last batch following a sort out. There are 3 female (2 x med, 1 x XL) in teal green and 1 male (large) vee neck in dark grey. First persons to offer Rita a tenner at the club will secure.
