Dear All
Just a reminder, as mentioned in an email a few weeks ago, we will be holding CPD sessions face to face at BAC Preston on the 2nd Monday of each month starting at 7.30pm. Everyone is welcome and they don't have to be members of the panel.
No need to book just turn up on the day. I will issue a reminder by email about a week before with details of what we will cover.
Obviously the pandemic is still among us and I would request that anyone who has any symptoms does not attend and if you can take a lateral flow test before coming that would show consideration for everyone. These are readily available from supermarkets and chemists are free of charge and easy to conduct.
The first session on Monday11th October will cover Player Management with the second on Monday 8th taking place immediately after the AGM and covering Regulations and DL.
I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in attendance.
Regards
