TRAINING INFORMATION

 

SPOTTER TRAINING:

Basic training will be Tuesday March 13th at 6PM.

Elite training will be Tuesday April 10th at 6PM.

Both classes will be at Brescia University science building lecture hall, same place as last year. This is regional training, not limited to Daviess County residents.

The basic class always has new material and is interesting even if you have been to previous basic classes. The Elite training is designed for those that have had the basic class but no one will be turned away. If you are interested in severe weather, even if you do not want to be a spotter, you will get a lot out of these courses.

There is no charge for this training and pre-registration is not  required.
