Hi everybody

Just to clarify days 3 and 4 for the current skills programme

Day 3 takes place this Sunday 22nd October 1230 to 230 in Corkagh Park
( I know this is a winter spin morning as well and I have asked Colm F if he could roster spin to Celbridge or Maynooth so we could be back in Corkagh park around 1230 for those who are leading or just want to have a Sunday spin )

Day 4 takes place on Saturday 4th November 1030 to 1230

Coaching and Leader skills
We had also planned to do a Leader / Coaching workshop to help transfer the skills we have learnt over the 4 weeks and this will include
• Clear printed instructions / check cards to help you with beginners groups
• Leading a group and how to take control
• Feedback on your style
• Helpful hints on coaching and being a leader

This will take place on the 4th November immediately after Day 4 skills and lunch from 1 to 3
Even if you have completed the leader course already you are encouraged to come along

Also again my apologies about the change of dates and I can organize an additional workshop in early November if you have difficulties with the new dates
Many thanks and look forward to seeing you Sunday
