Seven players (5 from Chester & 2 from Bowdon) attended a Club Coaches Training Course at Chester (organised by the Flying Circus) in order to gain their Club Coach qualification. The weather stayed fine enough for them to be coached by James Hawkins and Ken Cooper both on and off the lawns. On the second day they were set various tasks in which to coach each other while James & Ken adjudicated. This is the first step towards their qualification which must be followed by an on-site assessment at their own clubs in a month or two before they can be considered for their badge.
