There are still spaces available on this course.
It is a highly recommended course, and is being run by former club president and Mountain Safety NZ instructor, Helen McDermott. Helen is coming up from Timaru to run this course, so it would be good to have a great turn-out.
However, I need to know ASAP if you are interested, please email me tomorrow (Friday) if at all possible.

I’ve spoken to the people at the venue, need to finalise numbers by Wed, so as long as you get back to me by Monday or Tuesday, that will be fine.
I will try to confirm the trip fare over the weekend.
