Is there any other forum members thinking about attending this event?, I believe that there are only a limited amount of places for the day available.

With whats included and the the pros leading the first aid session, I think it will be money well spent.

You just never know when incidents happen in the field.

Hope to see some of you there!!

I'm holding out on replying at the moment but I want to go if I can. I'll be returning from visiting my daughter in Cyprus who is expecting her second baby in the first week of November. I'm due to return late on 19th if everything goes to plan! If I can make the 20th I will. It looks very interesting and covers such a lot in one day. I hope I can make it but wont know until nearer the time.
