Unfortunately, the First Aid Course qualifications which most of our club members had obtained have now expired after 3 years. The same has happened for LVO members.
As part of our BOF Insurance for events we must have at least one qualified first aider present.
The Rescue Emergency Care (REC) 1, a one-day course, is adequate for most of the areas we use, but a REC 2 (a two-day course) qualification is needed for more mountainous areas. It is important that we have at least one or two members trained each year.
LVO is trying to organise a REC 1 Course on Saturday 13th or 20th March at Castlewellan or Donard Forest. Most of the spaces will be taken by LVO but if they have one or two spare then they will offer them to NWOC.
If you would like to attend this course then please get back me indication the date that suits. The club will cover the cost of the course. To the best of my knowledge, Charlie is the only member with an up-to-date qualification ( REC 2).
Please get back to me if you are interested in attending.
Anthony
