Day after the assessment




The scene at the station this morning after yesterday's cliff assessment.

For four hours the team were put through their paces in the various roles that make up the team.

Officer in charge, Cliff technician, Operator and awareness trained make up the team. Of course every visit recently to St Albans Head results in rain and the kit soon got wet!

The St Albans team also popped along as they had a couple of their team to be assessed so both team were in action. This was ok till it was discovered there was two Steve's and two Ian's where is got a little confusing with instructions.

I'm please to say the team passed and saw a number of the team gain new qualifications, even the Station Officer had a practice over the cliff!

Our very special thanks to Hilary the Southampton Sector Manager and Steve, the Portsmouth Sector Manager who kindly came to carry out the assessment.
St Albans for the use of their patch and of course the team for all their hard work in preparation for this assessment.

Just got to dry and pack the kit up now.
