White Water Safety Courses

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintEmail

A few people have been asking about safety courses (and I've been encouraging others). Thanks to Mr Burke's negotiation skills we can offer each of these courses at £100 per person if we can get 6 people on each course. For people who actively coach for the club or are willing to provide safety cover at club events (eg Serpents Tail) the club can offer a further discount. The normal price for each of these courses is £160 per person making this excellent value.

Both courses will be run by Getafix (Leo Hoare) and will be somewhere in North Wales (most likely on the Tryweryn or Dee).
