Still Spaces on the BOK First Aid Course on Sat 9th Oct 2010

We still have places on Sat 9 Oct and welcome inquiries from young and old. Attending a First Aid course is fun and equips you with the skills which you may need anywhere and not just at an orienteering event. Don’t worry – you will not be pressed into joining the First Aid squad. Note that BOK members attend free!! Details and contacts are in the BOK Diary.'
