That was the promise made by training officer Maggie Jones for this weekend's club training at Maroubra. Scheduled to start at 4pm the session was lucky with good dry weather and not too much of a breeze, which can be a problem any time at the coast. The Cutbush family came along for some fun, despite an exhausting day at the zoo, and showed no sign of fatigue - well, at least Bianca, Jake and Toby didn't seem to slow down all evening! Mary Jane and Brian, the Shinglers from Big Foot, and Eric the Adventure Racer came to learn from Ian' the guru' Jones. And they were not disappointed.
Each magic tip was concealed in an envelope which the children were invited to open and post onto the uprights of the bbq shelters. Following the excitement of the amazing tip reveal, and detailed explanation, it was off to a physical exercise to practice the new skill - three tips, three exercises which involved steep hill descents, tracing paper, and practicing honesty and self awareness. The session had it all. Connah Cutbush took on the bbq as everyone disappeared off into the darkness on the final night orienteering course, ensuring that there were sausages and rolls for the hungry trainees on their return.
And the three tips? Well, you had to be there...
Next Uringa training is 10 August at Gough Whitlam Park.
