RSR2: River safety and rescue training - One down, one to go!
« on: April 30, 2012, 22:24:11 »
Deadly buzz

As mentioned in a previous post, RSR2  training will be happening over the Summer.

It's a one day course and the provisional dates from June 9th, 10th and 16th.
- subject to change if the lovely instructor Cormac becomes unavailable.

The courses will have about 4-6 participants and I hope that there'll be of you lovely folks to fill two dates.
If you're interested but not sure that you're up for it ( or have any other questions) then just send me  pm.

RSR2 teaches you all the skills you'll need for rescue on grade 2 water. It's exactly the kind of skill you'll be needing next year on river trips and any time you go on a river. It is now also a prerequisite for doing a Level4 assessment.

Syllabus here.
There's a list of gear on the syllabus. I'm not expecting you to rush out and buy all that stuff (although that would be nice) so I'll find some nice people who'll let you borrow their gear ( the club doesn't own things like slings and crabs, it's the kind of stuff you get yourself).

So, if you're interested then post up when you'd like to do it. If you've got questions, ask them. Yo'
Cost: TBC

Sunday May 13th:
Possom
Diarmuid
Marie H
Cillian
Cormac Roche
Ellen McG

Saturday June 16th:
Anne-marie
Derv
Ross
Evan
Niall
Helena

Damg this sounds like fun!

I'd be interested in it, but it depends on the cost and my work situation. Won't be able to confirm any dates until closer to the time.

I'm pretty sure I can do any of those dates, but not the week after the 16th.

I'd be well up for this ! I could do any day provisionally but may be subject to change. I'd say my best bet would be the Sunday

In that case, my preferred date would be the 9th

Beep-Beep-beep-da-beep! Update!

So, June 9th is off the table as a date BUT the course could run this Sunday (May 13th).
The other date will be June 16th - there should be two courses running.

If you want to do it this weekend then put your name down.
Priority given to those who won't be around for june 16th - also we'll need there to be some drivers.

so...
