Club Training Officer's (CTO's) Regional Meetings
For Regional Club Training Officers meetings we have a broad agenda, covering off topics such as;
Training in clubs, Mountaineering Ireland resources, training grants, encouraging new members, skills videos, meets and events, fostering independence in club members, what Mountaineering Ireland can do for you, open forum, insurance, leadership styles in the club setting, access and conservation, how can Mountaineering Ireland members get involved.
The typical format of these evening meetings are that they are usually arranged to take place in a hotel meeting room, with good access to transport routes. This is usually suggested and arranged by the club coordinator, and paid for by Mountaineering Ireland. Meetings usually start at 8pm and last for approximately 2 hours, but can run over time due to the many questions.
The idea is to contact the clubs in the target area and invite as many representatives as wish to come. This could target the Training Officers and Access and Conservation Officers, but extend to any interested club members. The primary focus is training, both formal and informal.
Please contact the training office, if you would like to organise a regional meeting in your area.
