Events - Training - Recovery / Winching
G'day mates! Howz it goin? Crickey No worries!
Sorry, just practicing for our next trip away later in the year!!
So, there was talk in committee about another Training day/weekend at the Andover site we used before.
My question is WHEN & What do you want training in?
Is September too soon or should we wait till the new year, say february / march/
This will not be a driving training day but rather a recovery, winching, high lift jacking type of day.
Over to you....
Regards
Non Stick.

Re: Events - Training - Recovery / Winching
Id be interested in that. New year would probably be better for me though as it's a bit far to do as a day trip for me, so would probably try to combine it with a weekend away

Re: Events - Training - Recovery / Winching
I have spoken to David from Pro Driver Training today & also been in contact with Mike Chambers . It seems the site at Tangley is no longer in use, however there are other sites available.
A new site in Upavon will come on stream later this year along with current sites in Lincolnshire, Wrexham, Stourport, & Milton Keynes.
I will let you all know hen I have more.

Nick

Re: Events - Training - Recovery / Winching
I would be interested in winching and recovery training.
As Kingmav says, making a weekend of it for a social would be great.
Sept may not be the best choice as there's the LRO show @ Peterborough that some may be going to
