Important announcement...
Hi everyone,
These are some IRT ideas for training that I have and need people to volunteer to organize, prep and lead. IRT nights are ideally field nights. Members come to the hall as though they have been paged out at 7pm, equipment is brought out and used (log usage). Multiple subjects may be hit upon in one night and IRT nights may be as long as 3 hours. All IRT nights should make use of our comms and whenever possible GSPs. 1st Aid, Stretcher handling, packaging and ropes are all good to include if you want.

Flat Ice (Garth would you get back to me on this one. We need to host another course  in order to keep our instructor status)
Urban Evacuation - (Char is doing this but would like help)
1st Aid , Packaging and Stretcher Work (any senario for other topics can include this)
Avalanche - (Allen is doing this one- the date is weather dependant and may change)
Boat
Quads
Interviewing (can be worked into senarios)
Tracking
Trailer Back-Up - (Don and Guy are doing this one)
Type I/ Initial Response Search methods
(Organizing includes notifying people of what they need to bring or be prepared for, finding a suitable location, getting everything set up...)
Non IRT topics that also need covering. Non IRT nights start at 7pm and can go until 9pm. Others would be covered on weekends Map and Compass
Critical Incident Stress - (Char had offered to this  - thank you Char- but would appreciate some help)
Ropes
Tracking
Swift Water Weekend days- (Don is doing some of this one)
Flat Ice Weekend day
Base Set-Up  weekend day

auto-ex is having there training weekend on march 12-13-14 .
on saturday march 13 they are having a super steak night and have invited ALL of the ccsar members to come and join them for a good meal.
where, time, what to bring, dress code, bring all the kids etc, will be announced later.

now of course nothing for nothing... rick needs people to help setup this gig.
cooks, cleaner uppers and bottle washers are also needed and he needs more bbq's for that night.

most of you know where rick works by now so who knows you may wrangle an extra discount out of him if you are capable and willing to help him and auto-ex out with this event.
