Training/Planning the schedule

From PCSAR

Regular meeting planning

Typically we have a 2 to 2.5 hour "regular" training session on the first Tuesday of each month starting at 19:00 at the fire hall.

Each year in December, we plan the schedule for the following 12 months. A tentative schedule for our regular training nights is drawn from:

• past years
• this year's calendar
• the typical year shown below
• Other ideas might come from the SAR_Fundamentals/Schedule

Typical year

Each year we typically run similar training at the same time of the year. Something like the following (but check the Calendar for this year's schedule):

• April - Equipment orientation. The location and operation of the equipment in the possession of PCSAR. Proper transport, set up and protocols and procedures for equipment use
• May - Rope and Knot exercise
• June - GPS exercise
• July - mid-month training replaced by a barbeque.
• August - outdoor training
• September - indoor training
• October - Mock search.
• November - Annual General Meeting replaces training at regular meeting. SAR Fundamentals first weekend.
• December - indoor training as weather is unpredictable
