COSTS
Tuition at these training sessions is free to members. However, we ask for a voluntary contribution of £10 per person per session towards the cost of fuel for the safety boats and upkeep of training boats and equipment. Please add a further £5 per session if you are using a club boat rather than your own. This will be payable when booking the session. Please bear in mind that none of the coordinators, instructors or helpers receive any financial return for their voluntary efforts.
