BASI AGM and Trainers Conference
Trainers Conference, Hemel Hemstead 2010
Back to the UK for the BASI AGM which was very sucessful although still not getting a fantastic turnout of our now over 6000 membership!! As soon as this was over the next day a training day for the Board of directors. A very long day in which we were instructed on our legal and ethical duties as board members, I think a very important day for me and the best part was the role playing session when the person in charge quite by mistake got all our personalities bang on!!! also Andy Salter's talk on the 7 peaks on 7 continents/crocodiles!!
So to the 1st day of the Conference, when a lot of the training body get together to run through any areas for development or any new aspects that will affect what we deliver through the training progammes. This year the main topic among others was the NEW MANUAL, which was presented to the trainers as not being totally new but all the good stuff that was in there has been revamped to make the manual more user friendly. From my point of view the new manual is a great step forward and makes my job of writing the New Telemark Manual a lot easier! Developments in the central theme have fallen right into line and made the task of making the different disciplines fit alongside each other work for trainers and candidates alike.
Other events during the week and a highlight for me was the learning difficulties session where we were able to try out in a sit ski, which was great fun and i thnk I could easily get hooked! Also in this session were some easy tricks of the trade on how do help differently abled students. Also there was a role play part that was very instuctional but extremely funny, sorry Jonesy! Rachel the trainer was playing the role of a very stroppy 13 year old that once won over would be quite forward with inappropiate behavour, seeing her cuddle and tweak Mark’s bottom and get him singing along to the “cheeeky girls” had the whole group in stitches.
All in all a very sucessful TC and looking forward to the next one.
