SUMMARY:Junior Planners Workshops Nov 2026
DESCRIPTION:This series of workshops is for juniors who have no planning experience or have just started to do some planning and want to know more.  It will run across the following dates:\n\n\nMonday 9th November – Optional Condes/Purple Pen workshop\nMonday 16th November – Workshop 1\nMonday 23rd November – Workshop 2\nMonday 30th November – Optional TD3/4 workshop\n\nThe workshops will be held on Zoom and run from 7:30pm to 9pm; it is expected that delegates will attend both workshops 1 and 2 and that they will have access to either Condes or Purple Pen on their computer.  Tablets / phones are not suitable for this and you will need to have uploaded and tried out your course planning software before the first workshop. There will be a planning exercise to do between each workshop date. \n\n\n\nAn optional workshop on Monday 2nd November is to ensure that learners are familiar with the basics of using either Condes or Purple Pen. It is strongly suggested that you attend this unless you are confident using course planning software. \n\nThe trainers will decide in conjunction with the learners whether to run the optional TD3/4 workshop and the date will be negotiable.\n\nCompletion of all 3 workshops\, including the accompanying homework\, followed by planning 3 courses in your club and submitting an experience log will earn you a Young Planners certificate and buff.\n\nPlease register using the Google form by Friday 6th November or email Judy with any queries.
