2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted November 17, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 All, We have an opportunity to send some people on first aid courses in either December or January, for FREE. These will be either 1 day refesher/introduction type courses or more involved 3day courses. They will be run in the Renfrewshire area (TBC) and will be arranged to suit the timings of the majority. Martin is going to contact all our coaches (existing/potential), but can I ask that any members who feel they would like the opportunity to attend let me know by lunchtime tomorrow (Friday 18th November 2011). Sorry for short notice, but I only found out last night. Cheers, Ramsay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
