Title: REC 3 Course
Post by: Matt on December 09, 2008, 11:25:36: I'm looking to organise a REC 3 course for sometime during the Christmas break. It will be a 3-day course for a group of 12. If enough people wanted to do it, there is a possibility of getting a 2nd instructor and then we could take 24 people.

The cost will depend on the number of people doing the course so I'll let you know.

Some people have already said they would be interested in this. If anyone else is interested let me know.

Matt

Post by: kmck on December 10, 2008, 17:50:13: I think this is one to ask the college for money on. Ask lorcan for the details of his rec course fill out a special grant form and away you go.

No weekdays, dumbass!!!
Title: Re: REC 3 Course
Post by: Matt on December 22, 2008, 18:42:42: Sorry these were the only days that suited, the instructor couldnt do any weekend in January.

The price for the 3 days will be â‚¬75, and the days will run from 9 to about 5.
Title: Re: REC 3 Course
Post by: Mark on December 22, 2008, 19:04:02: thats Awesome, almost half the price of most rec courses.

If I hadnt done one recently I'd jump on that.
Title: Re: REC 3 Course
Post by: Lambe on December 23, 2008, 08:11:56: im free for those dates

Post by: Monkey Loving Bob on December 23, 2008, 09:26:20: Don't apologise, pack your stuff and get the hell out! Don't make me call security...

Also will you ask that instructorb if he has weekend dates free at all over the next few months, cheers...

Title: Re: REC 3 Course
Post by: Bill C on December 26, 2008, 20:35:09: Does one need to have done REC 1&2 before attempting 3?
Title: Re: REC 3 Course
Post by: Nuala on December 26, 2008, 21:12:09: Not necessarily I don't think. But they are helpful.
Title: Re: REC 3 Course
Post by: kill on December 26, 2008, 21:56:14: If you have a REC 2 then, for a certain period, the REC 3 you need is only half the length. The one they are doing this time doesn't require a REC 2 to have been completed.
Title: Re: REC 3 Course
Post by: rog on December 27, 2008, 02:24:04: I'm free for those dates

Post by: Bill C on January 06, 2009, 23:31:34: I don't even have REC 1 done. Does that completely count me out?
Title: Re: REC 3 Course
Post by: kjt on January 06, 2009, 23:32:27: Nope, this should cover everything from start to finish :)
Title: Re: REC 3 Course
Post by: Bill C on January 07, 2009, 10:16:46: Well in that case......

Please oh please oh please oh please count me in as the 12th person oh mighty Matt!!!!

My boats in the boathouse, is anyone else being picked up from there?
Title: Re: REC 3 Course
Post by: kmck on January 07, 2009, 11:24:17: REC course is a first aid course no need for your boat. They are very good at giving you some very important skills. Everyone who paddles or is outdoorsie or is a human being should do a first aid course.
Title: Re: REC 3 Course
Post by: Bill C on January 07, 2009, 12:33:38: Oh right......

Any equipment at all needed? Other than my charming personality and uncanny ability to produce chocolate at the most unexpected times?
Title: Re: REC 3 Course
Post by: Matt on January 07, 2009, 13:12:19: All you need to bring is your throw bag, helmet and buoyancy aid for some scenarios. Everything else will be provided
