If you need someone to take Easter Bunny's place, you can put my name down! Those dates in April suit me better than the first ones suggested

something has come up for me that weekend, and i won't be able to make it. sounds like a fantastic course. something i would love to have done. the burren trips would benefit greatly from this course. though i feel if people were actually interested in climbing, skills like, setting up top ropes, understanding grades and lead climbing would come to those who are keen to learn and practice rock climbing.

valid point but the course is invaluable to those who haven't had the time or whatever reason so they could not avail of many chances to learn gradually the old fashioned way.
the course will teach people the most efficient, fastest and most importantly, safest way to set up routes and also (hopefully) instill a sense of good practise and ettiquette while climbing

Alwyn, one of the LIT guys, Mark Brown (i think thats his family name) was asking about the course, is he one of the two you have mentioned.
If not he might fill a space if there is one free. Anna has his mobile number.

It would be great if we came away from the course knowing how to --->
- how to set up a top rope, - choosing and balancing anchors, rigging an abseil - maybe a bit on placing protection!
if we got that much out of it we'd be very happy!!
Shane & Mike (the 2 LIT lads).
