This event is the third in a series of continuing education days for certified casting instructors. The setting is casual and informal, with plenty of opportunity for questions, comments and sharing of teaching methods.

The 2008 program, "Spells, Charms & Potions",  considered how to diagnose and resolve casting faults for each particular caster. Our special guest was Steve Rajeff - it was a terrific event, sold out in advance, with about 20 CI's in attendance.

Part 1 of our program this year, "On Target--Improving Casting Accuracy for Instructors and Students" will be the world premiere of the   Foundation Series Workshops from the Continuing Education Committee, workshops directed exclusively to FFF Certified Casting Instructors for their use as instructors. David Diaz will present the "On Target" program which includes a hands-on field instruction segment, so fly casting gear is required.  David chairs the Continuing Education Committee for the Casting Board of Governors and is a Master Certified Casting Instructor.

As the FFF Casting Instructor Certification Program matures, refining the performance profile for the MCI instructor becomes a necessity. Joe Libeu (chair of the CBOG committee that devise and test those changes) with Jay Clark and Dusty Sprague will present Joe's "An Insider's View" clinic describing the proposed changes to the MCI performance test and the reasons for the changes. Joe presented the MCI test changes program at the National FFF meeting in Loveland, Colorado last year. The changes range from controversial to innocuous, but they have stimulated strong interest. Besides the new performance requirements for candidates, the program will cover the revised, detailed expectations for testers administering the test. Most, if not all, of Part 2 will be conducted outside at the Casting Fields.

The cost of participation is only $25 with advance registration, $35 at the door. Comparable programs offered recently in other areas have charged many times this amount. Register now - class size is limited and this will fill up.
