Residential Training Events

RESIDENTIAL EVENTS TRAINING
SATURDAY 24 MARCH 2007

This training day will be split into two parts
(You can come just for the morning or stay all day):

The morning is aimed at experienced Guiders, Residential Advisers, new Guiders and those working on their residential licence. The training will be in the form of a wide game, to act as a refresher, or as an introduction to running a residential event. The aim is to learn through doing and teamwork.

The afternoon is specifically for Guiders wishing to start working on their residential licence or those already started who want to know more about what is involved. The afternoon will focus on the process of planning and organising a residential event. Please bring your own copy (or borrow one for the day!) of the Residential Training Scheme book (available from guide shop).

The venue for this event will be confirmed nearer the date but is likely to be a school or campsite to the west of Southampton.

The morning will run from 10am–12pm.
The afternoon will run from 1pm–3pm.

Those wishing to stay all day will require a packed lunch.

The cost will be £5 cheques payable to The Guide Association
(The cost is the same for morning or all day as it covers venue, drinks and wide game costs only!)

If you wish to book a place, complete the slip below and return it with £5 to: Mrs Jennie Hogan, 199 Woodlands Road, Woodlands, Hampshire, SO40 7GL
No later than Friday 16 March.
