    [GH] From Len Zickler :

    All,

    I have found Macauley's teaching approach innovative, positive and supportive. Michael's suggestions for a BOG sponsored pre-exam course would receive broad support from CCI's!  Where do I sign-up!

    [GH]  Len,
    Something like this could be organized for Conclaves as well as regional council events. Lots of work entailed, but well worth the effort.

    [GH] Ted Warren speaks to Len's suggestion :
    Why don't we offer a multi-session comprehensive prep program for the CCI and MCCI at the national conclave?
    I recognize that many of the elements, if not all, of both performance tests are covered in various other classes but I don't believe they are always thoroughly addressed.  And, it would be practically impossible to attend all the classes due to scheduling.
    I think a lot of great learning could occur with such a program taught by the best of the best.

    Finally, why don't we offer free introductory casting lessons to the public at the national convention?  There are a lot of tourists in West Yellowstone who are fly fishing prospects who may be looking for something free to do and it will help draw more of them into the exhibition hall than we experienced last year.  This is a key part of our marketing program at Gore Creek Fly Fisherman in Vail where I work and teach during the Summer.

    [GH] From Ckling Ling :
    Hi Gordy,

    Just want to mention that all the CCI candidates that took their test in Malaysia attended at least one prep/pre test workshop, some two before their test , both with Peter Hayes. We had very comprehensive workshops on casting and teaching for the CI. It was worth every penny that we invested in bringing him over from Australia to Malaysia. To pass any exam you need to prep for the exam whether you like it or not.

    Regards
    Ling

    [GH] Ling,

    Yes, indeed.  The results were excellent !

    You could not have picked a better instructor than Peter Hayes .
