A group of 23 people gathered in the home of Paul and Ruth Ungemuth on 24 May 2014. The presentation by Powerpoint was shared by Barbara Langridge, Peter Osborne, Laurie King and Paul & Ruth.  Barbara introduced the importance of risk management for our leaders, and the difference between real and perceived risk.  Peter underlined ABTC intentions to ensure we tramp safely with structured expectations (and required forms) to provide leaders with resources and procedures to support the leadership task.

Paul discussed the ways of helping our tramping participants to enjoy the Club activities by including everyone, and putting strategies in place to ensure we tramp safely.  Laurie underlined the ways of managing Emergencies we encounter on the track.  Ruth shared how to manage an injured or unwell tramper.  She focused on awareness of dangers of Hypothermia and how to identify this in its early stages, and treat it.  Barbara summarised the club forms and procedures we use, and thanked everyone for attending.  Paul encouraged all attendees to be willing to step up to lead tramps in the future.

The session was opened by prayer and President Paul concluded with prayer.
