July can be a strange month, the weather can go from torrential to super-hot neither of which are comfortable for training, and it's also a month when school holidays and family commitment time comes about!
2019's offering decided to offer some really scorching weather, but did lend itself to some great days that were comfortable too.
We must, however, start this months review with the sad news that Dave Hardwick, one of the groups Advanced Tutors, passed away following a short battle with cancer.
Dave was a really friendly and engaging man, with a good approach to tutoring and group activity.
Dave made a great impression on everyone he met with his gentle nature.
Having attended the training weekend in Scotland last September, where he qualified as advanced tutor, he impressed colleagues from other groups present at the weekend and his loss has been felt by them too, with John Forrester of the RoADAR North Cumbria & S.W. Scotland group and Colin Blackley of RoADAR East Kilbride group offering their condolences.
Dave Hardwick, Advanced Tutor 1955-2019
