---ooo0ooo--Jill will be announcing details of this course at October's Group Night meeting and places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. While there is no charge to attend the course we would request attendees to make a voluntary donation of £10 which the Group will then forward to the Herts & Essex Air Ambulance charity in recognition of the training provided by the Fire Bike Team. Over the two course dates scheduled for 2019 this should add up to a donation of around £300.
It is important for bookings to be honoured as these courses are very popular and non-attendance will mean that someone else will have missed out. The course starts @ 09:00 at the Joint Emergency Services Academy,
