Cool mike,
we'll get some folks to sing up for the companion & refresher, good stuff.

I really like the way you're doing classes, the smaller affordable classes are so much easier to get friends to sign up for than some 2 day skin in hut based class.
Between badgering me into buying a pack & educating my friends, you might save my *** yet!

thanks!
