FIRE EXTINGUISHER TRAINING SESSION
WHEN: MONDAY 20 APRIL 2-3PM
VENUE- BEECHWORTH FIRE STATION

We recently put our tutors through this training, and we all gained so much more understanding. We have these extinguishers/blankets in our homes / workplace / caravan, but do you know how to use these correctly.
Hannah, from Beechworth Fire Brigade will be leading this training to show how to use these correctly, what kind of extinguisher will put out what types of fires. Learn how to safely and efficiently use these, and understand when it is safe to use, or leave to the professionals.

Members, please book through our member bookings.

Enrolment and Information Expo
All members and interested folk in the community are invited to attend our annual Enrolment and Information Expo scheduled for Tuesday 13th January from 10:00am – 12:00pm at the Beechworth Memorial Hall.

It is a great opportunity to find out about course offerings in the year ahead, to meet Tutors / Group Leaders and to chat with them about courses that you are interested in. The morning is also a good time to catch up with other members after the summer break and meet new members.

Helpers will be available for on-line enrolment help if you need it and our Treasurer, Richard will also be available for anyone who wishes to pay their subscription on the day, payment by card or by cash.

Hope to see you there!!!
