Editor's note
=============
We asked for your training disasters and it's hard to choose the
best (or should that be worst?) of those posted this week.
Questionable CVs and interior design questions from RAF officers
are just two of the strange but true nightmares, members have
endured, but have you faced worse?
https://www.trainingzone.co.uk/item/140717

To help those disaster days become a thing of the past, don't
miss Graham O'Connell's comprehensive list of ice-breakers
in this week's Trainer's Tip and Byron Kalies' advice on how
to get a positive start to a new course in his Trainer's Diary.
Links to both articles are further down this newswire.
