REC Course - Mountain Rescue Fundraiser

[brianod]

DWMRT are running a fundraiser REC course which will now take place on the weekend of the 21st & 22nd June 2008. The instructors are giving up their time for free - they are all paramedics or very experienced mountain rescue people so it promises to be a good course.


The cost will be €150.00 per person.


No location confirmed yet but the plan is Wicklow.


Anybody who knows of anyone who is interested in attending the course can contact the treasurer at treasurer@dwmrt.ie

Thanks for the info on this - sounds like it should be a really good course. I've just signed up today so there may be more places still available....

Good stuff, let us know how you got on. If there's demand, I would imagine they might consider running another one in the autumn.
