On the 3rd January I suggested on Facebook that, depending on interest in our rogaining community, we could run some training for course setters
What a pleasing response! 30-odd expressions of interest
Consequently we have scheduled a workshop on 8-Feb, with a focus on making maps and the associated computer apps. This first workshop will be restricted to 10-15 people who have committed to setting a rogaine in the next 12 months or who have recently been involved in organising a course and seek extra skills. An invitation to those people was issued in the last day or two
After the workshop we will review its effectiveness and schedule a re-run … it’ll be sometime later this year and open to anyone who wants to set rogaines. We will also look at how to incorporate other syllabus items such as land access and course-setting standards
I’d like to especially thank Graham Field for his efforts thus far. Graham is the coordinator for the workshop, supported by a bunch of experienced cartologists
Also, if you have not done so, please consider filling in this survey, which will form the basis for discussion at the next committee meeting of how we will run the event.
