Spring Training Begins

WE'RE PITCHING
SOME GREAT COURSES
TO CATCH IN FEBRUARY

Is it too early for us to be thinking about Spring? Donna and I don't believe it is. Hey, the Blue Jays' pitchers and catchers report to camp on February 21st., and we think Spring Training should also be on your mind. Not baseball, of course, but spring training of the technical update genre with coach MARK LEMAY.

Mark's lineup of courses begins Wednesday March 3rd in Stouffville where he'll be presenting his ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION CONTROLS class.

ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION CONTROLS will also run Tuesday, March 16th in Etobicoke and again in Ottawa on Thursday, March 25th.

Monday, March 8th will find Mark in Guelph where the topic will also be ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION CONTROLS

In Burlington on Wednesday, March 17th his course offering will be MISFIRE DIAGNOSIS

Now that's an all star lineup of technical update training events to be sure. But please keep in mind our season ticket subscribers have pre-booked many seats. Therefore, to avoid possible disappointment we encourage you to register early for the above classes.

And by the way, we know that it takes more than a ballpark hot dog to satisfy a tech's appetite after a long day in the service bays; that's why a full course dinner is served at all of our training locations.
