There are loads of branch events coming up over the next few months. If you've been thinking about training as an instructor now's your chance: we've two different instructor courses planned for June. There are also opportunities to get involved in the work of the society by attending the RLSS National Conference and, on a more local level, an opportunity to attend an interesting lecture by the RNLI looking at advances in the clinical treatment of drowning. With so much going on, there's never been a better time to be a lifesaver in Avon & North Wiltshire!
