A Potential Resource in France I am a bilingual, independent, British management development consultant working out of Toulouse in France. During the last 15 years I have organised and run dozens of outdoor-based seminars in various parts of the eastern and central French Pyrenees. I have a good knowledge of the area, have used a variety of reasonably priced 'centres' (including campsites, refuges, gites, hotels, etc.) and have developed a small network of competent French qualified 'moniteurs' in most outdoor 'disciplines' - canoeing, caving, climbing, mountain biking, snow shoeing, etc. I would like to make my 'experience' available to those wishing to organise expeditions or trips (especially for youth groups) to the Pyrenees. I am not looking to make money out of this (my 'day job' takes care of that) - I started my outdoor career almost 25 years ago working with youth groups; youth clubs, summer play schemes, PGL, D of E, YOP, etc. I now spend all of my time working with senior international managers and have had the desire for some time now to "give something back." In fact, my long-term career development goal in my APIOL application is to be "Using experiential learning to help a wider public (i.e. not just managers) to develop their potential and have an impact on the way in which society behaves." If you feel that my experience could be of interest to you, please contact me to discuss your requirements. Bob Larcher APIOL
