Hi Adventurers,

Here we come to another important aspect each adventurer has to be familiar with. As we know, adventures can be associated with risks and injuries. And a good adventurer is always prepared to anticipate and manage them. Yes, I am talking about the first aid knowledge! To the benefit of all members of GHAC, we are organizing a FIRST AID TRAINING Course by St. John Ambulance Association, Hyderabad. This is an internationally valid certificate course needing participation of 8 hour activity for 2 days. Find details of the programme below. I am sure this course will benefit you not only for your outdoor adventure activities but you never know when in life this knowledge may help you. Also, this course is compulsory for all trek leaders, aspiring trek leaders and those involved in longer and difficult treks. It might eventually become a prerequisite for all active members who hope to keep trekking with us. Hope you take advantage of this opportunity.

Charges: Rs.600 per head. Includes course faculty fees, certification fees, light working lunch including high tea for both days. This is an estimate and actuals would be shared between all the attendees.

Venue: check this map location http://files.meetup.c...
