ANTARCTIC TRAINING WEEK

Messrs Kohn, Gorton and Webb attended the Antarctic Training Week at Waiouru in August 1968. This proved a most valuable experience and allowed us to meet and discuss our summer programme with the future Scott Base leader and his staff. We were able to state our field requirements, with the result that important preparations of gear were completed by the time we arrived at Scott Base. We made many friends with the future Scott Base staff during the training week, and as a result, received their closest co-operation in Antarctica.
