It’s that time of year again when we ask for volunteers to help us provide the rescue cover for the students at this year’s BUCS Slalom at the Tees Barrage. We need people to help provide safety cover on the weekend of 18-19 February, 2012.
What’s in it for you
Tea/Coffees
Lots of white water rescue practice!
All are welcome, you don’t need any formal qualifications, and you can do any job from dry throwlining from the bank, to chaseboating, to live-baiting. Bring your friends! There’s lots more info about the event itself here: http://www.bucsslalom.org.uk/
If this sounds good to you, get in touch!
