same same same :) also following from other comments, ROC also sends interested members to 'anchors' and 'lead' courses through external parties as well as putting more experienced members who run trips through acia courses.
our trips tend to run pretty smoothly and we generally have one trip 'leader' with other members assisting. but with beginner trips the focus is certainly on the beginners not on the leaders. later on in the year as the beginners progress and are able to second the focus obviously changes.
incidentally many people don't realise that members of the public are able to join up uni clubs by joining the union for a yearly fee then the club.
