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.

​

Feedback from attendees:

  • Clearly outshines any of the previous 1st Aid Courses

  • everything necessary for an allround 1st Aider

  • excellent series of scenario role plays brought the course material to life and opportunity to practice the skills

  • was very impressed with the whole weekend … content, delivery and scenarios

Big Fat Repack

The TVHGC Big Fat Repack returned!!! This incredibly valuable event was held on March 5th 2022 at Aldershot Garrison Sports Centre, Rawlinson Road, Aldershot

​

This was a fantastic opportunity to:

  • Practice deploying your reserve, whilst sliding down a zip wire in your own harness

  • Learn to repack it during a talk & demonstration by BHPA-licensed packers Gregory Emms & Mark Luscombe

  • Repack your own reserve, paired up with another pilot, under the supervision of experienced packers

  • The BFR is the TVHGC's main safety event - a chance to discuss any flying safety concerns with other experienced pilots, coaches or committee members

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
