During a recent Provincial Event we arranged a half day First Aid training session with the Red Cross which was excellent. A good mix of both theory and practical with everyone enthusiastic and getting involved.

As a result we want to advertise this across our Counties for Clubs in Britain to have the opportunity to also book a session at a preferential rate.

 Courses can be run for a max of 15 attendees, preferably 12 minimum and will require a months notice for booking. Their trainers are based nationwide so it will be no problem travelling to any of the County locations.
