Eric, I think I saw something about grading schools on the assoc website or something like that maybe the gathering tank??? I know they talked about possible having them here in NH some time soon. which I would like to go to. if you see any in your search let me know...especially with the new grading system coming out I would like to attend one that has will teach on the upcoming changes to the system as well.
