prudenceb Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Because they will likely be too modest to toot their own horns, I'll do it for them: I had the pleasure to be one of the volunteers for John Carmody's two day BCU 4* Leader Award assessment this past weekend. Congratulations are very much in order for the NSPN members who underwent the assessment: Peter Brady, Phil Allen, and John C (sorry, John, I don't know your last name!) all passed! Just another confirmation of the incredible level of talent in this club. pru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rylevine Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Congratulations to Peter, Phil, David, and any other NSPN member in the 4* assessment group. It was a pleasure to be a "tea-bag" this weekend, and to meet other paddlers from Canada, NY, and CT. (David, thanks for the pointers on the forward stroke.) Great job everyone!Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gcosloy Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 And already their accomplishment is providing an impact on the kayaking community... Phil goes South I hesitate to say so but this group seems to have a better sense of humor than another group I'm familiar with but whose name shall remain nameless. (OK- its like Wild Turkeys are like Italy and the NSPN is like Switzerland.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone has the same sense of play that Kate does! Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(OK- its like Wild Turkeys are like Italy and the NSPN is like Switzerland.) That is a Five Star trip report! Congratulations Peter, Phil and David. Everyone else, if you ever have the chance being a tea bag/guinea pig on an assessment is a great learning experience. Whether you are interested in developing your own leadership skills or just want to become a more effective group member, helping on an assessment can be a useful exercise. Its also quite a bit of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Phil really wanted to paddle with me up north, but I told him that he had to frown and wear a hair shirt under his drysuit if he wanted paddle with me , so he headed south instead ) Thanks, Mark, and to those of you who offered congratulations.

That pass examination went so well for me that now I am the ruler of the Queens Na-vee" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
