What are your opinions on when to have one? I feel slightly conflicted in that the most suitable times are Saturday and Sunday mornings, but that potentially conflicts with indoor training or Tatem.

I could go with an extra early Saturday perhaps, say 09.00, leaving time enough to get to the indoor session if we finish by 09.30?

We could just move one indoor session to HP - that would be well worth it surely?

Does your camera have night vision mode? If so, Thursday evenings? Smile

I'm not sure about moving an indoor session to HP - we have the venue block booked come rain or shine. Ideally if we're not going to use the venue, we should give sufficient notice (out of courtesy more than anything). I guess it's Fred call on what he thinks.

I would think that 0900-0930 should be sufficient time, with priority given to those that need longer to get to the venue afterwards (e.g. catching public transport).
We do have a few people that drive to the venue, and so if they're up for a review and indoor, then perhaps car pooling can be organised?
I'm sure we did something like that before.

Thank you Mike - a video review in general would be great to have. We have been doing a lot of technique based sessions, so it would be good to know if any of that has improved things Smile

Yeah, I'm not against doing a Thursday evening one once we're in spring and BST, but the problem for me is that I start to get very busy then. I'm also concerned that we do this whilst the Park is relatively empty so that there's little or no risk of a collision with other park users.

For those without their own transport, it should be possible to Boris Bike it to the indoor session in half an hour.

No, that's fair enough Mike.

Hey Mike,

Nice one and thank you for offering another video session; we really appreciate it.

For me, Saturday morning before indoor seems most sensible.

Sometine before Indoor sounds good ! I could cycle for the occasion I guess.

Super, let's go with this Sat 19th at 09.00. I would like people to email me with their mobile numbers to secure a place, if only to make sure I'll have enough time to film you all.
