Feeling Pleased With My Self Today

jims-terrano · 07-12-2014, 21:44

I was presented with my first Duke of Edinburgh Award instructors qualification this morning and more to come next year. So feeling pleased with myself.

Sweety · 07-12-2014, 21:45

Well done

Ianinessex · 07-12-2014, 21:47

Excellent. Well done, this is a great organisation to work with and really makes a difference to those being trained.

briggie · 07-12-2014, 22:01

well done jim , I took your place at diggle today ...... excellent exercise , my 817nd performed faultlessly

makeitfit · 07-12-2014, 22:08

Top man

As said above , a top scheme that gets kids away from screens and such. I remember my DOE . Probably where I got my love of offroading from. Out over the Brecons on camp and map session

I hope it's not gone all soft like scouts has now

Well done.

Nice to have recognition for your hard work and commitment.

jims-terrano · 07-12-2014, 22:29

Cheers guys, defo not gone soft. I never did d of e but I can confirm it's still just as hard as ever but different challenges available. For another qual I did the equivelant of a silver exped and have to say I really take my hat off to the young people who do the expeds.

Looking forward to getting the assessors qual eventually.

Pete, glad it went off ok and believe me I really wanted to be there. That kind of excersize is just my thing too, Brian says there are going to be more next year so fingers crossed I can make those.

Have to say there must of been 50 or 60 young people getting their bronze, silver and gold certificates. I had nothing but admiration for them. The whole day really made up for missing out on the radio Pete.

Nice one Jim

I did my silver but found girls before finishing my gold

This country needs more guys like you to keep these awards real.
Well done again
