  1. Hi Tom,
    I would love to get on this course on 17th Nov. I have put it in my diary provisionally. What do I need to do now to register/pay?

    Would love to come on the course. My sky ride leader training requires a valid first aid certificate.
    What do I need to do to book my place and make payment
