| BGA Instructor Coach Simon Adlard |
Last week saw the 9 day BGA Assistant Rating Instructor Course held at Shenington between Sat 7th and Sun 15th April.
The course was allegedly the first one ever where all candidates passed all sections of the theory test first time!
On course were Stephen P (Starford-on-Avon GC), Mick F (Shenington GC), Richand H & Paul W (Oxford GC). The BGA Coach was Simon Adlard, assisted by Ian Atherton (CFI SGC) with help from Rowan Griffin (DCFI SGC) and Bruno Brown (SGC Pro Instructor) who both played the parts of "Bloggs" to perfection.
Special thanks must also go to Winch Driver Kath Barnes and Tug Pilot Dave Gould for all their help during the week, as well as SGC Professional Instructor Don Puttock. Despite some challenging weather all cadidates performed well throughout learning lots, gaining good passes and having fun to boot!!!
