To all Ohio Instructors, SB's and IITs,
I do not remember the last time Ohio did an IBC of its own. As our Ohio program and instructor team continues to grow, it is important that we give our instructors the best training that we can. So, I am posting this to see if there is interest in organizing an IBC for Ohio in Feb 2019.
At an IBC we will review all of the points of instruction, review IMC, KD and cover all the heritage for an Appleseed. IITs will get the opportunity to practice all of these and get feedback from the team on how to make it better. You will have the ability to practice your dangerous old men, the three strikes and learn a great deal on how to work with your audience to deliver effective heritage.
Other areas that we will cover include how to deal with the problem shooter, safety and first aid information and much more.
If we go forward with this, I will try to identify a central location that is convenient for all. (Marion? Cardinal?, Coshocton? Sandusky?) We will need a range to give us their clubhouse for a weekend in Feb. Attendees will be able to sleep in the clubhouse or get a hotel room nearby (hotel on your own dime).
So, the first question is, do you want us to put together an Ohio IBC? Please give me your feedback.

The last one I remember being offered was at Gibsonburg maybe 2011 or 2012?
I would be interested in doing an Ohio IBC. Schedule so it doesn't interfere with the Michigan IBC and maybe we could have a little cross-pollination of instructors from each state.
I would echo cadence's comment in regards to scheduling so that both Ichigan and Ohio's would be able to be attended. I'd like to see an ibc in our great state. I'd suggest marion or new philly.
I'd like to see one. Central OH would be great. Still being able to attend the MI IBC would be great.
Count me in! I'd love for us to have an IBC in our home state.
I echo that Ohio could use a IBC of our own. Would not like to see the Ohio and Michigan ones conflict though. I do think personally that cross pollination would be a benefit. Most likely we would see the PA group come over to Ohio for sure.
I all ready put on the vacation calendar at work to attend the Michigan IBC in February. Had a great time and felt that I learned a lot at this year. Now that I have experienced a lot more this year I expect that I will really benefit from attending another one.
I would love to see an IBC in Ohio. Unfortunately, I wont be able to attend the Michigan IBC .due to vacation conflict. Count me in!!
I would sure like to attend if you would happen to leave it open to people from the other side of the border.
I am sure that any IBC would encourage border raiding.
If you can schedule it go to the one in Michigan in February also.
Let me know if you need any help
It was March of 2012 at Gibsonburg. A new IIT and yet to be hatted IIT wondered over the line to attend. I will schedule the time off to attend.
I believe RBC very important to team building and skill improvement.
I'll drag DeckApe along too.

This is a great idea. Marion would be good. Central Ohio might draw people from KY.
Corvette are you still working on a location/date still
Little buddy
Where and when so we can schedule the time off.
I'm in. Central OH I suppose would be best . New Philly host us?
Just a reality check here. New Philly is not central as it's in NE Ohio near Akron. :yeahthat:
Granted....but it is still almost 3 hours from me....in Northeast Ohio, indeed the farthest one can go Northeast in Ohio. :)
And I'm almost as far as you can go SW. New Philly is 3.5 hours from me.
Corvette,
As I thought about this more, I wonder if Wilmington would work? I know it is not exactly central Ohio but I think the clubhouse might work.
They have been very supportive of Appleseed in the past.
The club is not far from Wilmington so I think there would be reasonable accommodations available.
Is there any update on this? I'd love to attend an IBC but will be out of town the weekend of the MI IBC.
Thanks!

I would love to see this come to fruition, I'm looking to get more involved this year and this would definitely aid me as well as anyone else on our path.
Keep me informed on any updates on this please !!
