Now all you have to do is beat the club up to run First Aid courses in house so they are done at a sensible cost to the end user
And another incredibly sensible idea hits the forum!

Yup, and it's remarkably easy to do. Find someone with the HSW First Aid qualification and, preferably, an instructor qualification in some sailing discipline and get them to do the RYA's 1-day First Aid Instructor course. You should then be able to get centre recognition from the RYA. A few dummies off e-Bay, an assortment of other bits and pieces and you are away.
Alternatively, ask me nicely and if you are anywhere near the central belt of Scotland I'll run a course for you at a very modest fee
(If anyone is offended by the plug, I apologise but (a) I felt it appropriate to the thread and (b) my courses are intended as a service to the sailing community, especially volunteer instructors who require the qualification, and not as a service to my bank balance.)

I agree that if you dot use it you lose it so I became a community first responder. You work alongside the paramedics being first on scene and have oxygen and a defibrillator to use. Plus six monthly requals. No use f course if you can't commit some time to it.
