TVHGC First Aid Course
The club hosted our second first aid course and the first of 2022 mid February . As with our previous offering, the course was delivered by Yomp, who were fantastic! This is an adventure sports focussed first aid course with particular emphasis on paragliding related accidents.
The course took place on the weekend of 19th February 2022, at a venue near Petersfield. Overnight accommodation, meals and travel are at your own expense. The course was open to all pilots! The course cost £290. Those members who joined TVHGC before 21st Sept 2021 received a 50% subsidy.

Coaching Course
TVHGC are delighted to offer a Coaching Course that will provide you with tools to help support and develop fellow pilots. Coaches develop a wide range of knowledge within their discipline allowing them to safely assist others, but it is important to remember that the role does not mean sacrificing your own flying needs.
The course is open to all HG and PG pilots who hold a CP rating and a minimum of 10 hrs. It is a 2 day weekend course packed with activities, interactive discussions and talks. The BHPA course leaders will provide ongoing assessment throughout the course.
The event dates & details are:
The weekend of the 2nd & 3rd April 2022. Arrive 9:15 for a 9:30 start
Location: The Bear Hotel, 41 Charnham Street. Hungerford. RG17 0EL.
