Waiting for a laser induction? BIG induction day 23 April

Hi everyone (and specifically the people on the waiting list, who I have tagged below)

With 3 inductees per session, and 1 induction every 3 to 4 weeks, it will take ages to clear the list.
Instead, I propose the following:

On Saturday 23 April:
9 people at a time attend an induction talk in the Clean Room
Then 3 at a time go to the laser to demonstrate competence in the practical aspects
The others will have to hang around and wait for their turn
3 or 4 sessions - morning, afternoon and evening
27 - 36 people done in one day!
Sorted!

Myself and a few other facilitators will have to commit to around 9 of training, so we need to know if this is worth doing (i.e. can we fill all sessions).

So, please answer the poll (if you can make multiple times, tick them all).
This is an expression of interest, rather than a commitment from either side.
A normal induction session will be added to the calendar if this looks viable.

  • Session 1 (10 - 12:30)
  • Session 2 (13:00 - 15:30)
  • Session 3 (16:00 - 18:30)
  • Session 4 (19:30 - 22:00
  • This idea is not of interest
  • Nice idea, but I can’t make 23 April
  • Nice idea, but I can’t do any Saturday

Hi Brendon!

This sounds like a great plan - Unfortunately though I won’t be able to come on that day…

Hi Brendon, tried booking a slot by clicking the link, but it appears to be private… -+

Hi M11

Your user profile says “basic user” which means that you either are not a paid-up member, or your account hasn’t been upgraded yet. If the latter, @directors or @welcome will help you.

Regards
Brendon
