I imagine this to be very 50/50 where the line is drawn. No bun fights, please. I'm just interested in peoples' adultish opinions.
Do you think it's Righter or Wronger to Enforce the British Caving Association Caving Training scheme on Caving Club Members? After all, the training has been around for decades, loads of people do it and find out just how much they didn't know before they did, and it's unarguably fit for purpose (especially in the case of club caving and the Level 2 training, 'cos ladders). If you need to show someone you actually know your caving arse from your caving elbow (on paper) then it's a requirement for anyone with a duty of care in a tort environment. If you don't need to show you know anyfink whatsoever then it can be ignored. Historically, caving clubs don't need you to be able to show any difference between an arse and an elbow. That may change one day but meanwhile,.. yay!
It's probably a consideration, espeshly if you anticipate being covered by the insurance policy which is a freebie element of membership, after all it's generally and usually somewhat easier to get car insurance if you've got a licence than if you're joyriding in a half-burning stolen deathtrap on a weekly basis.
