3rd to 4th February 2003 : CMA Training Centre, Huairou
	nostalgia
	being back at CMA Training Centre after a year brings back many fond memories, with the warm welcome from many familiar faces
	quality gear
	well maintained, CMA had ensured that we get the best appropriate equipment for the course... I drew a brand new pair of Koflach
	opening ceremony
	still a very formal and sober event... maybe some party poppers will loosen things up
	good enough?
	a skill assessment session vets each participant to ensure that they are skilled enough for the days to come
	dangle on a rope
	various abseiling skills were highlighted and practiced
	getting hitched
	many knots and rope skills were also reinforced
