personally think that anyone arriving at 6 or later is more disruptive than supportive of the effort.<br>
<br>
Who is available to be there at 5? and who is available at 4 to set up the session?<br>
<br>
maybe we will have to reschudle backward an hour to suit more people?</blockquote><div><br><br>Yes, i thought this was probably the case, but i can be around if any extra support is needed.<br><br>Could you confirm where the training is? if it was put back an hour i might be able to get there for around 6pm, or just after, depending on where it was. Possibly a bit late to change times this late though, although i guess if no one can make it for 5, this is the only option. Is there any kind of initial training plan yet? <br>
