leader training
skills workshop
Hello all,
There is a huge appetite for upskilling in the club, which is amazing to see. It’s often difficult to find weekends where we’re not all adventuring. To encourage a culture of continued learning, we offer monthly evenings where people can practice their rope work, check in with each other, and share knowledge.
We meet after work hours (1830-2100) at the 1st North Sydney Scout Hall at McMahon’s Point.
Sometimes we get the firepits going (there’s scouty things and a full kitchen) and do a small change meal, so let me know if that’s of interest. Marshmallows, oven nibbles, and fresh stew have been hits. If it’s hot, we’ll do ice cream.
The focus is practice, not theory. All participants are welcome, not just leaders. If there’s a particular skill you’d like to practice, let me know in the signup so we can prep stations and equipment. You can also just duel each other at sock wrestling — it’s your night.
Please book on though, so we know we have enough volunteers and stations!
(Kieran being a very good unconscious casualty)
Ideally bring your own gear, as that’s what you’re likely to use in anger, but we’ll also have kit available.
This month’s theme:
- Summit of the Air comp (SOTA) and Mt. Mistake… come plan a big mistake with me and get some amatuer radio tidbits from Stu.
- Moan about the fact we get tons of water when we want to canyon or climb, but not enough when we want rapids to paddle.
See you at the end of your rope,
salomé and stu
