FIRST AID

Beth Gourlay, a qualified First Aid Trainer/Assessor, has kindly agreed to run a course at the Club for members wishing to attain certification as First Aiders.

The course, entitled Emergency First Aid or First Aid for an Appointed Person, covers general First Aid but will also include elements relating to sports injuries. It lasts 5 hours, spread over two 2½-hour sessions. Both sessions are to be held in the Clubhouse from 7.00-9.30 pm, with the first taking place on Monday, 10 December and the second on Monday, 17 December.

Since parts of the course require participants to lie on the floor, they are advised to wear suitable casual clothing. They should bring pen or pencil and paper with them to the sessions. Those completing the course will receive a manual and certificate, which is valid for three years. Beth can run refresher courses, as required.

The General Committee has agreed that the Club will pay for those members attending and completing the course. Places are limited to 12, so those wishing to participate are encouraged to sign up as soon as possible by contacting Rob Gourlay on 07834503486 or Chris Mounsey on 07867907633.

The list will close on Monday, 3 December.
