Team Challenge at the Symposium 2016

Post by Alan Horner » Thu Sep 10, 2015 2:14 pm

Hi Folks,
I am organising a kayaking based team challenge event at the symposium in Dungarvan this coming October 9-11.

I am looking for some volunteers to act as Team supervisors
Essentially the role is to
- accompany the team through the various Kayaking related challenges
- Issue the challenges to the team at the appropriate time/location
- Act as back-up guide/navigator & co-ordinate with the challenge supervisor (me)

To allow for safety on the water the team supervisor would need to have
- Training equivalent to ICU Level 4 Sea proficiency or BCU 4* Sea Proficiency
- Safety equipment such as VHF, Flares etc
- be competent in rescue etc.

Also looking for some volunteers for a couple of land based challenges
such as First Aid and Kayak Field repair.
the Team Challenge is intended to last between 3-4 hours - so taking a morning or afternoon activity session

if you are intending to be at the symposium and think you can help - please drop me a line on e-mail al_ba_horner@yahoo.com or phone 086-6869019

PS. I'm sure there will be a pint or two in gratitude for your time on the day

thanks - Alan
