I'm so envious of this great opportunity for novices to showing! Dave was talking about this at the amatuer Comm at the Convention - NWMHC is really such a great club.

A big yeah to all the trainers volunteering their time too.

I do hope all of you will post lots of photos about what a great clinic this is - maybe it will encourage more Clubs to host programs like this.
