This course was organised at the Devon and Somerset Gliding club ( North Hill ) to prepare potential Assistant Category Instructors for their courses later in the year.
Attending were Martin Cropper, Dave Jesty, Ged Neveski from Brentor and Lisa Humpries, Andrew Muggleston and Matt Wright from Horth Hill .
Mark Courtney , Simon Leeson , John Burrows (JB) and Don Puttock were the coaches.
The scene was set for a very intensive week of gliding instruction in freezing cold winds mostly from the East or North East.
The candidates learned to instruct various flying excercises while either flying or controlling the flight. Anyone who thinks that this is easy is welcome to give it a try.
Did everone gain from the week? Oh yes!
Did everyone enjoy the experience? After defrosting, the candidates had to admit that they had.
Many thanks to Noth Hill and their members for the help in running the course and the use of their equipment and airfield.
