Shivworks ECQC June 7-9

[YammyMonkey]

With Craig's blessing, we've added a pre-work/review course May 25th, 2 weeks prior to PUC & ECQC for anyone who is interested in getting a little more out of PUC & ECQC. We're calling it Pre-Extreme Close Quarters Concepts, or PrECQC.

PrECQC will be taught by Steve & me and it covers a lot of the key material so that someone attending ECQC for the first time won't be so overwhelmed with some of the technical aspects of the coursework. It is also intended to help people who have attended ECQC in the past refresh their memory & skills on some of the technical aspects.

PrECQC is not a stand alone course and is only open to people who are taking or have taken ECQC. If you have taken ECQC before, but can't make it this year, you are welcome to come out and use this class as a refresher. (I'm Looking at you Mick Boy)

PrECQC is not a prerequisite for PUC or ECQC; it is a supplementary technical class.

The registration flyer can be found on the DRT Training Schedule page.

Cost is $100 plus $10 range fee, payable to the landowner.

We're trying to keep this relatively cheap on both the course cost and round count since it's essentially an optional add-on to ECQC 2 weeks later.
