Tom,

I have been to Jasper and it is a fantastic place. Very scenic; particularly for tourists if they haven't spent time in mountainous areas.

Overall, I think it is a great idea to host a coaching clinic but perhaps scheduling it in Calgary is a better idea as then it is easier (less expensive) for those who aren't local to fly into a city with a major airport and tons of accommodation / transportation options at all budget levels. It also cuts down on travel time – once you get off the plane, you are there… no more lengthy travel required. (Human nature: embracing the easiest path…!)

I decided against attending the TGfU conference north of London, England this summer for those very reasons (additional logistics including the proximity in time to the start of the Olympics) as it increased the costs and ate up an additional day getting in and a day getting out of England. Instead, I am going to save up to attend the 2014 gathering in New Zealand as I want to go back there to visit a friend too!
