This will be a fun, informal, and interactive info session for those members who would like to know more about organizing club trips.  

In preparation for this tutorial, anyone who has yet to post a trip should become familiar with the website.  Add a new trip to the club schedule by selecting a start date in October of 2021, and put the word "TEST" in the title.  This helps us manage test trips.  It's suggested you post a test-trip for a route you've done before and would consider doing with a small group. Or K2 with your family.  Your call.  The session will help you understand the requirements of adding trip description details for the group, such as required equipment.  We will also discuss screening questions.  These are important to ensure participants have the necessary skills, e.g. AST-1, or to find out who can drive (especially if 4WD is needed or preferred).

During this session we shall endeavor to discuss:

• How to pick a destination that you'll most likely be comfortable with.
• Resources and related trip beta.
• How many people to take, i.e. a safe minimum and maximum.
• Safety considerations, including club insurance coverage.
• An overview of the process from posting the trip to saying "goodnight".
• The benefits of being a frequent trip organizer, e.g. Pro Deals.
• The BCMC Trip Organizer Insurance Program and Coverage/Liability
• Covid and trip organizing

In preparation, please review these archived Trip Organizer video tutorials (blasts from the past):
