This course will be held on Wednesday 5th November from 2pm to 4.30pm and is aimed at parents (or carers) with children under one, and expectant mothers.

This scheme is run by final year medical students who have been trained to teach infant first aid by the Royal Life Saving Society.

The aim is to give parents the confidence and knowledge required to deal with emergency situations that may arise.

All necessary equipment and handouts will be provided and the course will accommodate time needed to attend to babies during the course.

At the Centre from 2.00 - 4.30pm.

Preparations are well under way for a Country and Western Night at the Centre on Friday 14th November at 7.30pm.

We have a pianist / singer; there’ll be songsheets to sing along should you wish; there will be a quiz (with a prize for the winner); line dancing and lots of food and drink.

A welcome drink - a beer or glass of sarsaparilla perhaps, will be provided free of charge.

Bangers, mash and beans will be on the menu, with apple pie to follow.

Costumes optional, but there will be a prize for best dressed person.
