I thought I'd post a follow up to this thread as I have now finished the course and I'm very happy with it. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get a solid grounding on composites. It's well suited to the hobbiest as there isn't much theory work, it's mostly hands on. Some people may be a little put off by the price of the course but I strongly beleive that you could cover the cost of the course in prevented errors and wasted materials and time than if you were to try and figure things out for yourself.
There isn't a rigid curriculum, Toby makes a good effort to find out what we want to acheive and caters toward that whilst at the same time providing us with a broad knowlege of composites skills.
I've included a few images of things we did and saw during the course...

These were some of the materials we used in the course.
This was a resin infusion demo we did.
This was a vacuum bagging demo we did.
And another vacuum bag in opperation.
Some pictures of materials testing we did.
More materials testing.
More materials testing.
A foam shaped plug made from 3 blocks of poly styrene.
The plug after layup, from an idea to this point it took less than 3 hours work, all hand made.
Using Acetone to melt the Poly Styrene plug.
A trial fitment of the air scoop.
