Darrell's last paragraph highlights a problem I've noticed creeping into Training Days. When I first attended a Donington Fire session in 1987, ALL trainees needing Fire signatures had an instructor as a buddy to guide & protect them. Too close: you wre pulled back...Too far away: pushed further in. Having attended many sessions since, both as refreshers for me or as instructors assistant/fire cover, it seems that this system is no longer adopted (certainly here in the Midlands). I don't know if it is through neglect or lack of instructors. I would love your comments on training sessions at other venues as I intend to become more involved in the practical side of training. I've taken classroom sessions at Speed/Hillclimb Training but never yet been in charge for a fire session. Any other ideas from anyone??? Things to add? Things to drop??
