Class Starts This Saturday - Candidates

Candidates
  
Looking forward to class start this weekend.  A few details to highlight:

- Be sure to read & fully digest the "Guide to Assessment" prior to class.  Link above and here.

- A few of you asked about Cravats.  You'll need this starting on the first Tuesday of class. Instructions, as you know, are on the blog.  Alternatively, Janice Waits, long time supporter of the class, has made some.  She's not charging for them, but I understand she likes wine.  You can meet Janice on Saturday and negotiate your deal.

- As noted below, class will start on Saturday at 9:00.  Be there a bit early.  Bring your lunch and water.  On Sunday, we'll also start at 9:00 and shoot to wrap up early afternoon.  Here too, bring your lunch and something to drink.

- As you register for class, everyone will need to sign the NSP liability waiver and show your COVID vaccination proof (As we discussed, if this is a problem for you, no problem, I can refund your $).  Bring an image of your card, or use the California State Vaccine Registry, which is quite ease: https://myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov/  

- Finally, as noted below, wear some clothes that you're okay lying on the floor in, and bring a backpack to carry the gear/supplies you'll receive and use.

See you all shortly!
