Corona Virus Gold Prospecting InformationGidday Everyone.Gee, what a difference a few weeks makes in the world and to our own lives. Three weeks ago we were planning our seminars for 2020 had them fully booked, created training books and bought the supplies and material for the Seminars. Then on 18 March 2020 we decided to cancel the seminars prior to sending out the first invoices to give those who had booked some certainty in what was going to happen. An excerpt from the email: "I am sitting here today contemplating sending out our the first deposit invoices for our Gold Prospecting Seminars in 2020. As information about the Covid 19 virus becomes clearer day by day we believe we will have to cancel our seminars eventually under direction by the Government. The main concern for us was that of you being exposed and suffering this disease yourself during travels and association with other travellers. Udo, Sue and I have discussed all of these things and decided to cancel our seminars in 2020 for everyones benefit. Many of our seminar participants are are in a demographic 60 to 70 and over 70 that has the highest death rate with the virus so it will be of concern for them as well. There are insufficient medical facilites in Cue or nearby towns to assist those who get the virus. We humbly apologise if this is something you have been really looking forward to and planning for but believeit is in the best interest of you our clients, the community in general and us." Since then, of course, travel to the regions has been stopped and many caravan parks in the goldfields closed. In fact you will be stopped by police in the Regions of WA now and sent back home it you try to travel there. Covid 19 - A Personal StoryHere is a Personal StoryPlease take the virus seriously and Isolate. A week ago a friend of ours rang and said she had a strange experience. Our friend went to her hairdresser on Friday 21 March who told her her mother was a nurse and had been in contact with a person who had the virus. The nurse was told to go home and isolate which she did. The hairdresser however lived at home and did not also isolate. Since then our friend and husband have fallen ill, Both have been diagnosed with Corona Virus. Only time will now decide the result. BUT that is how virulent this disease can be.

One on One Personal GeoMap and Computer Training We don't even get visits from our grandchildren at present so unfortunately we will not be doing one on one face to face training at our homes until the all clear is given. Online Internet Training For those who had their seminars cancelled we provided an option of access to the full GeoMap WA Training Online and Tengraph Web training online. That included with a one off offer to setup their PC with one hour mentor training like we do in the seminars but online via Teamviewer. I will extend that offer later to everyone if there is any interest in it.
