Training... Skills and Fun!That sounds a fine idea David and I won't press you on the finer details...but in general principle would you see the 'support team' as being paid, expenses only or entirely voluntary? I think all three alternatives have some merits although I am conscious that all could be opposed by elements of our profession for a multitude of reasons. I think especially for those of us in twilight of our careers with lots of experience to pass on, your idea could be a great initiative.....
