Ah this thread is revived!
JayD well done on getting to FSP, especially the second one of the year. Hopefully your instructors had a good Christmas holiday - but I don't think taking a bag of candy-canes down would help you out. Do as you said; read this thread, go for a lesson or two (if you want) and prepare yourself for a fun and full-on two weeks. Any questions, post them here.
Cheers
PS: How have some of the other guys who have recently posted on here gone with all their testing??
