Nine people attended the Controller’s Course in Auckland for both days, at least in part. We had 10 on Saturday, but Imogene Scott was in labour on Sunday – she gets full marks for working right up until birth! Callum Wishart was also there adding to his technical knowledge, just before his new role at ONZ was mentioned! The photos above were taken from the practical exercise in Albert Park and Auckland University.  

Feedback:
“Thank you for presenting this course on the weekend. It was great to help me understand what I already know and filled a lot of gaps. Many helpful tips that will be very useful for our club level events including reviewing the currently available resources and where to find them. It will help our club work towards more consistent quality of maps with all the required information on them, to better courses, to more thought through safety processes. I think it will make an overall difference in improving the quality of the events we offer, so I would recommend this course not just for people wanting to control major events but also for people involved in planning or running club level events.”
