Training is a broad broad term and can come in many different ways.  Typically in the past the group has relied solely on attending organized events with a User Service, however, we will be adding additional training through training evenings and on occasion weekend days when possible.  There have always been concerns that training would come in a military style, but that is not the case here.  We want to make our training as relaxed and functional as possible.  People learn better when training is done in small and enjoyable chunks.

We have many ideas of what we would like to do this year for training and would request other ideas from our membership (or outsiders).

Some of the ideas so far are:

• Visit the Cambridgeshire Police HQ Comms Centre
• Visit the Cambridgeshire Fire HQ Comms Centre
• Visit to the Cambridgeshire CEMT Bunker
• Guest speakers from our User Services

We will be planning our training nights for the 3rd Wed of most months.

Please plan to attend the training sessions.  It’s really important for everyone to come out and see what’s going on and participate.   I would like folks to email me either through the email reflector or direct if you prefer that you will attend or that you will not.  If not, please tell me why (ie:  Wed’s are no  good for me, some other night would be better, or whatever), it helps to plan for these.
