I assume you have asked BH if they have a spare venue (when the site is open, trackdays or similar so the gate is manned) The Kentagon or Hailwoods would be a good size wouldn't it?

Hi Folks,
Just an update on the Heartstart courses. Places are going quickly for the first 3 courses. For July 25th there are 2 places left. August 8th there are 4 places left and August 22nd there are 4 places left.
Thanks to everyone who has booked on so far and lets fill up the other slots.
More dates will be announced after the August courses.
Spread the word.
Thank you.

[Richard Sneader]

Just a course numbers update folks:
July 25th we have 3 places left. 8th of August course is now full and the 22nd August we have 4 places left.
So please get booking. Its free and gives you a chance to meet other marshals outside the circuit enviroment.
We are also looking for potential instructors to put on the instructors course later in the year and deliver HS courses and develope them. This will also involve delivering these courses to the public. If this is something you would also be interested in please pm me or email me at heartstart.ivmuk@hotmail.co.uk or if you know my e-mail adress.
Spread the word and get booking,
Thank you.

I attended the the course last night (25th July) and learned a lot.

This is something that everybody should know, not just for at the track but for life away from the circuit. The course provides simple but essential instruction on how to deal with a life threatening situation.

I found the course to be well run and typical marshal humor was in abundance.

It's also good to meet your fellow marshals away from the track, although following the choking lesson I fear I know Daryl a little to intimately.

Please book yourself on a course when available, you won't regret it.

[Richard Sneader]

Thanks Gloveman for the kind comments. (I noticed DB still had a smile after you to got to know each other well!!). Also thanks to everyone who turned up last night through the poor traffic problems on the A13. The IVMUK steering group discussed the course after it finished and we were delighted and proud of how it went and the fact everyone entred into the course with the right frame of mind and added to the humour and made it a very enjoyable evening. So a huge THANK YOU to all of you who turned up. Also thank you for the generous donations. This is important as this is how we pay for the hall and keep the scheme running and make sure you have what you need etc.
We are meeting next week to plan alot more dates and if you would like us to come and run a course in your area please pm me or email on: heartstart.ivmuk@hotmail.co.uk
and we can discuss this.
I know and the IVMUK know we have hit the right note with this and last night proved it. What we need to do now is evolve it. I now have 3 potential instructors so I will be starting to get them involved and developed before we run an instructors course in Nov/ Dec.
Still would like some more.
August the 8th is now full and we have 2 places left for August the 22nd. SO lets get these 2 places booked.
Thank you.

[Richard Sneader]

Hi Folks,
We have 2 places left for this Wednesday's course at Grays, Essex( details will be sent) and 1 place left for the Wednesday 22nd August for Heart Start Courses. Please book at heartstart.ivmuk@hotmail.co.uk

Spread the word and book. It could save a life, even yours!
Thanks.

[Richard Sneader]

Just a note to say thank you to everyone that turned up last night the their Heartstart course. Another enjoyable course and everyones enthusiasm and input made it a good night.
We will be advertising some more dates soon. Just waiting to hear from the hall we can have the dates we have asked for.
T give a definative answer now for this course. As we are running this outside the motorsport arena to give everyone a skill for life and the community, PRC's will not be signed. The new FMOS course( all still to be finalised) will cover the first aid section in the books and all being well will be ready for 2013 training.
So please book, we have some more places for the 22nd August.Thanks again everyone.
Richard Sneader, Martyn Dolton, Alex Smith.

Hi Folks,
we would like some more people for the 5th September course in Grays, Essex 19:00-22:00.
I realise for some people, you might have to travel and its an argument we cant win as we work and have to make sure we can get home and set up on time hence we run in Essex on Wednesday nights.
We have a Saturday 1st December back to back courses if you cant make the Wednesdays. Their times are : 09:30-12:30 and 13:30-16:30. Everyone that has done these courses have expressed the value they have and extra/refreshed skills and the main thing enjoyed it.
SO lets have some more people book or email us about coming to your club/ venue.
heartstart.ivmuk@hotmail.co.uk or book at marshals.org.uk or pm me.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you all
