The inaugural training weekend for Operational Handlers was held in CHCH 6/7 Feb 2010.  The weekend was facilitated by Brenda Woolley as National Trainer with help from Brendon Irwin, other CHCH handlers and TF2 members.  There was also great support from local CDEM, Red Cross and friends and family as subjects.  The first task for the CHCH handlers was to put a TF tent to sleep in, and then once the Auckland “crew” arrived we were into a range of realistic scenarios….a great weekend.  Check out a few photos- unfortunately most of us were too busy to take pics!
