We're a local group of Cycling UK, the national cycling charity.
7 Mar: First Aid Course
Sue has run courses for us before. She taught us about major issues such as CPR and use of defibrillators, and also covered many cycling-relating issues: dehydration, sunstroke and hypothermia, as well as the usual cuts and scrapes. Hopefully none of our attendees will ever need to use the training!
We will next run a course in a couple of years. If you'd like to be considered, do join the CTC Cambridge mailing list for more information nearer the time. Peter Wilson
