Following the ABCTT board meeting on 15th July 2010 we are delighted to announce the appointment of two Member Trustees: Matt Keates and Clare de Meyer. They will represent members' views and concerns.
A Primary Centre application has been received from Dart Rock Climbing Centre. This has been provisionally agreed by the board, however a month's consultation period is now opened. Any members who wish to comment on or object to this application must notify us in writing by no later than 15th August 2010. Please email anne@nicas.co.uk.
After discussion, it has been decided that postage costs for logbook deliveries to Primary Centres will change with effect from 1st June 2010. Any orders received on or after this date will be charged as follows: UK Sterling 13 for a box of Part 1 booklets (Levels 1-2) UK Sterling 17 for a box of Part 2 binders (Levels 3-5) UK Sterling 23.50 for any order of 2 or more boxesThis means the ABC Training Trust will absorb some of the costs charged by Out Of Hand (our printers and suppliers) for smaller orders. The rates include storage, order picking, packaging and insurance as well as courier service. Awarding Centres should continue to order their logbooks via their Primary Centres unless otherwise agreed by the PC, AC and ABCTT.
The invoices for annual renewals are being sent out over a few weeks from mid-May to mid-June 2010, so don't worry if your centre's invoice hasn't yet arrived. We won't be de-registering any centres on 31st May, but if you haven't received any invoice or communication from us by the end of June please email anne@nicas.co.uk.Anne is on holiday from 31st May to 14th June, so any emails or phone calls received in that time will not be dealt with until her return. For URGENT queries please contact iain@nicas.co.uk.
Annual renewal packs are being sent out over the next couple of days, and should be with all Awarding and Primary Centres shortly. The registration year ends 31st May. Please complete and return the enclosed forms as quickly as possible, and contact anne@nicas.co.uk with any queries.

The NICAS scheme has now been launched and is available for individuals and climbing walls to register on to. Twenty two Primary Centres around the country currently run the scheme and can induct other centres who have registered to deliver the scheme. The NICAS website gives details of how to register, where to contact your nearest Primary Centre and the small costs involved.
After the successful piloting of the scheme in 2007 NICAS is currently in the process of being prepared for national launch. A network of primary centres is being setup around the country to deliver the scheme as well as to advise and induct other awarding centres.
