CPR First Aid course

Leave a comment
Hey Motorcycle Enthusiasts we all know our love of riding motorcycles is a dangerous pastime. Wouldn’t it be great if we could contribute helping or even saving a fellow motorcyclist in an unfortunate incident?
Well we can by completing a CPR First Aid course for motorcyclists. This is a certified course that PulseStart training can offer us.
They are offering the club a special deal of $90 per person. MECGC will also further subsidise all Financial members $20 either one of the first two courses that are earmarked for Friday 7th March or Saturday 8th March.
All non financial members can also attend the course at full price and also depending on spaces available.
Please contact Barry ASAP on 0430341795 to let me know what day you would like to attend.
