Jimmy Synnott	Oct 29, 11:40PM	The Committee are now going to give an independent certificate for the First Aid Course. This will apply only to the first aid course. They have also agreed to contribute to 50% of the cost, it will be run by The Dublin Wicklow Mountain Rescue, so all people wishing to participate will now receive a first aid certificate on completion. Note this course will only go ahead if we have sufficient numbers. Cost to participates will €25. Numbers must be known ASAP. Please contact Race Director.
Jimmy Synnott	Oct 30, 12:25AM	Foot note to last message. There will be no charge for this course.Many many thanks to Dermot and the committee, who have kindly offered to foot full coasts for this course.So please let us no numbers asap.
Jeff Fitzsimons	Oct 30, 10:11AM	I'd be interested in doing this. Do I need to do anything through myIMRA or is this enough? Jeff
Dermot Murphy	Oct 30, 1:55PM	Hi Jeff - I think the idea is to sign up as a volunteer on the events page - the safety training day is set up like a race - and volunteering signs you up.
Jimmy Synnott	Oct 30, 5:21PM	As you can see Jeff .have all ready put you on this page. Doing this with all names that i receive. The first 12 names will be on course (1)Saturday 21st.November.About 5 places left.Names are also been taken for course (2) Saturday 28th.November.10 places left.If we feel, and have the numbers then course (3)January 23rd will go ahead.Remember all first aid courses are costing the committee money,which in turn is the your money, so lets not waste it.If you want to learn a new skill(at no expensive ) sign up now. It will also be a fun day out.Lunch might also be free.
Jeff Fitzsimons	Oct 30, 8:43PM	Cheers Jimmy.
Jimmy Synnott	Nov 3, 1:29PM	This course is now full. Many thanks to all who have put their names forward. Looking forward to seeing you all on the 21st.Due to the poor response it looks like the course down for Saturday the 28th.will now not take place.Sorry but in this current economic climate with out the required numbers its not justifiable to run such a course. Hoping for somewhat better response to January 23rd. Cheers jimmy
Paul Mitchell	Nov 4, 4:39PM	Hi Jimmy, If anyone drops out I'll take the place. I would have registered but I've forgotten my password and the MyIMRA reset password facility isn't working for me at present. Regards, Paul
