Dear NWOA clubs,

Please could you circulate the following information to your club members

Forthcoming UKCCL1 Coaching Courses

Two courses that may be of interest to NWOA are

1.       At Tower Wood in the Lake District on the 22-24 of April (tutored by Derek Allison)

2.       At Plas y Brenin in North Wales on the 17-19 June (tutored by Helena Burrows)

These courses are suitable for those wishing to coach unsupervised in private "safe" areas such as school or outdoor centre grounds, local areas and small woods (using the supplied resources, coaching cards, for the sessions).

Alternatively, the qualification is also relevant for those who wish to assist other (more qualified coaches) in more challenging areas.

Full details are available on the British Orienteering training courses web site (link below)

Funding

Anyone from a NWOA club interested in either course should be encouraged to apply to their club for a grant.

If the club approves the application, as most will, they should pay the attendee or the provider, as convenient, and the club can apply to Stephen Round at the NWOA for funding. This will be to reimburse the club rather than the individual.

I think that most clubs are already aware of this protocol but Stephen Round has asked me to stress that grant applications from clubs to NWOA must be in advance of the course.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need any more information.

Kind Regards

Dan Riley
