Full Coach course Devonport ABC Plymouth July 08

Hi All,
Possibility of running an additional ABA coach course(full not assistant)
Max numbers 14 at Devonport ABC, Plymouth over two weekends in July 12/13 & 19/20 also open to coaches who have already put names down for October if they wish to do it early. If enough interest Kevin Hay is happy to run this additional course.

Ideal time for Devon ,Cornwall, Dorset and Channel Islands to get their refresher done and not have to travel to Bristol. The future refresher course next year I understand is a two day course. This refresher would be valid for 3 years. Places allocated on 1st come 1st served
regards
