i agree with you there
When they had the 3 groups (Advanced, intermediate and begginer)
They should chosen those groups accordingly to the skill level of player
As our advanced group had somewhat begginer players in it
which makes it hard when teaching.
Hopefully they will improve it next year

Yes you're probbly right. But since I was the "beginner" in the advanced group it didn't cause me any heartache! I guess with a small sample (30 people) you're not really likely to get exactly 10 beginners, 10 intermediates and 10 purty goods. I think I got plonked into the purty goods because the beginners were all filled up! Hopefully I'll deserve to be in the advanced group next year! Grahame PS I visited The Pitts site. Is that guy your father? He looks so much like you. Funny stuff.

Yes I was wondering what you might have got from the camp seeing your skill level is so high. I had no idea what I was going to get out of it but I wanted to go anyway just for the chance to meet other players and pick up some good pointers, which I did. And your show was great fun too.

Well yeh
Im not saying there is anything bad with that
you gotta start somewhere
but it just does make it somewhat difficult when trying to teach

Hey that was just up the road from me. I woulda fit right in being the extremely experienced player that I am... A whole 2 months experience that is ;)
I've found that most events have a few hiccups the very first time they happen and usually the next time they happen they're bigger and better than the first one.
I've got the calendar marked for next year.
