In addition to Neels' post above, you are welcome to put your name down on the forum here, or contact me.
Although the training is being offered to Donford clients, Club Members will receive preference so you are welcome to book through the Forum and I shall co-ordinate.

Please put my name down provisionally for level 1 on 6th Apr.
FYI: My email to Jaime didn't go through. The error message included "rejected by the server for the recipient domain bmw.co.za". Checking previous communications, I think the email address in the hyperlink was supposed to be jaime.heyns at bmwdealer.co.za instead of jaime.heyns at bmw.co.za.

Hi Peter,
What exactly are the differences between the Level 1 training and the Level 2 training? What are the prerequisites?
Thanks,
Stefan

Sent you a pm Stefan.
John and I are busy reviewing the course curriculum at the moment to make Level 2 more "interesting" which will mean some pre-requisite exercises in Level 1
Thanks, Peter. I think we'll start with level 1. :) I've sent you a PM.

Can you add my name to the list please.
I'm also keen on doing some road based training, just to make sure I'm not developing any bad habits so if you have any advice for me I'd appreciate it.

At what time?
I just want to double-check that I'm on the level 1 list, as I know someone who received a "final arrangements" email, but I didn't. Perhaps it's because I rsvp'd via the forums? Looking forward to a fun day in the sun.
You're on Zanie. See you there.
Training starts at 0900 Sharp so be there between 0830 and 0845.
Kudos to the organisers. It was an awesome day. I always find the training uber-useful, even when I can't do all the manoeuvres due to newbie-ness. It's great that I can compare it to my previous session and spot the improvements.
Hi All
Last call for bookings for training on the 8th.
Level 1 : is full (standby will be accepted in case of dropouts)
Level 2 : limited space available. I need to check with Jaime but as far as I know there are 5 slots open.
Cheers
Peter
I'd like to join you for a level 2 on the 8th.
Please ad Trevor for Level 2 if space is available on the 8th of June.Cheers
Could you please add my father and me to the level 2 training list please.
Mike & Adie
Hi guys,
Please send me an e-mail and i will add you to the booking list for the training on 8 June - I need your e-mail addresses to confirm final arrangements for the training.
Email to: jaime.heyns@bmwdealer.co.za
Kind regards,
Jaime Heyns

Hi Jaime,
Just sent you a mail for level 2 on June 8th.
Stef@n
Just in case someone hasn't gotten the mail: The training has been moved to Sunday, July 6th. Contact Jaime to confirm/cancel.
Stef@n
The next training day ie 7 September is fully booked.
The October session would be a good one for focusing on pillion training again, for those who are interested.
Cheers
Pete
Hi Peter
I would be interested in doing 1 & 2 .
Please put my name down for both
Regards
Steve (Stevee on forum)
Level 1 please if pilion on the same day wil then prefer Pillion firts. Thanks Peter
Bookings for October training are now full and closed.
You may put your name down for standby and we'll include you if there's a cancellation.
There is still some space on Level 2
Hi Pete
Please put me down for level 2, October training session.
If there is an opening for level 1, you can "downgrade" me to rather attend that instead of level 2.
Looking forward to another GREAT DAY
Many thanks
Jean
To all the guys that provided the training on Sunday a huge thank you. It was the best ever. To Neels who provided training to the level 1 guys soos hulle se "Jy mag maar". Just need to get Neels a GPS as he tends to drift off course and somehow we ended up in mud ek was lanklaas so blerrie moeg om daai bike uit die modder uit te kry.
Met some nice people all and all it was a stunning day. Well done guys.
Hi Pete
My sincere apologies, had my name up for last Sunday's training and only realised now that i forgot and missed it completely. Where shall i deposit training fees for the day, inbox me please. Many thanks, Jean
Hi All
Please note the change of date for the last training session of the year. It is now on 9 November and not in December as originally planned.
We are planning to give pillion trainin on this one, however that is only worth while if there are 5 bikes or more ie 10 people in the pillion section.
Please let us know if you're keen and we'll arrange it. Names to Jaime at Donford please.
Cheers
Pete
