OK Then

We did want to put on the Event Horizon SFX course especially for the UKPS members. However it would appear that the cost was a bit of a barrier to getting the numbers up.

So........

We now have the opportunity to provide the following course especially for the UKPS members presented by a well known face at the institute of explosive engineers.

The course will be an introduction to high explosives and their use in battlefield simulation and demolition.

The event will be held in Kent at a site with an appropriate HE storage licence (Camping facilities will be available).

It will be turn up Friday evening, get to know everyone. Saturday will be some classroom work followed by a big dose of practical work in the field so to speak.

Social on the Saturday night.

Clear up and depart on Sunday.

Further details of the course will be available shortly.

We need about 15 people to make the course run (max 20). The cost will be £100 per head. The course will be for anyone here, however priority will be given to fully paid up members of the UKPS.

This course is an introduction to the topics involved and does not constitute training towards any formal qualification. You won't be able to go and buy C4 after doing this course (although you will get to play with it on the day). You will be asked to sign to say that you are not a prohibited person with regard to explosives. More details on what this means will be provided.

It should be a great event with an inspiring host. So lets have a show of hands of those who would like to attend this event.
Phew that was close.

Ok. Great start chaps. I have had a few Pm's too. So it looks like a goer already.

I will get a few possible dates sorted out soon along with a better itinerary.

It would be good if we could get it done before the summer is over.

thats would be good for me, what time would it be starting, i would come down by public transport and i work as a doorman on weekends and would be getting in about 3am, so an early rise on Sunday wouldn't leave me in the best frame of mind to make the best of the day.
