Hello

There will be an Outdoor Activities First Aid Course running one weekend at the end of this term. It is a very thorough two-day course, specificaly aimed (unsurprisingly!) at the sorts of outdoor activities we, amongst other outdoor clubs, undertake.

If you are thinking of pursuing a career in outdoor activities, applying for a Camp America style placement next summer, or even just want a better-than-average first aid qualification for your CV then this is probably as good a deal as you will find : and for sports club members it is FREE.

It will be the same as the course which ran in the summer term; I know Ralph attended that one and found it extremely worthwhile. Again, the cost is FREE, but places are limited as interest is already high.

Please reply to the news item on the website www.warwickcanoe.co.uk if you are interested, so that a rough estimate of numbers can be given to Gemma Morris (Warwick Sports Development Organiser). The exact weekend has not yet been decided; this email is merely to obtain an indication of interest. Please note that quick replies are not guarantees of places; details are unknown and we do not yet know how many places either club will be allocated (if indeed there is enough confirmed interest to run the course).

Frodo

I didnt do the watersports one (3 peaks clash) but I presume so, being two full days. I think Ralph knows more about it, seeing as he did it.

Avatari did it the year before- it's VERY hardcore. they teach you practical first aid, not just st john's ambulance stuff! e.g. how to splint, pressure points, etc.- the guy applied it to canoeing equipment as well when i was there
