SUMMARY:7 Mar 2025 CPD Workshop: Learn about…Bannau Brycheiniog Reservoirs
DESCRIPTION:Second of two repeated workshops – first on Mon 10 February \n\n\n\nIn conjunction with Dwr Cymru Welsh Water (DCWW)\, the aim of this workshop will be to enable instructors who use reservoirs; particularly those in Bannau Brycheiniog National Park; to both appreciate them better and be able to educate their clients about them – but will also serve to build a stronger SWOAPG relationship with DCWW and help us secure continued access to reservoirs for paddlesport. This ‘pilot’ workshop\, if successful\, could become a regular fixture and perhaps even a requirement for users of the Bannau Brycheiniog Reservoir Passport Scheme. The workshop will take the form of a ‘short day’ (9.30am-2.30pm)\, based at Pontsticill and including a presentation\, a reservoir visit and a tour of the water treatment works. Each workshop will be restricted to a maximum 12 participants. Book ‘tickets’ using the buttons below. \n

SUMMARY:10 Feb 2025 CPD Workshop: Learn about…Bannau Brycheiniog Reservoirs
DESCRIPTION:First of two repeated workshops – second on Fri 7 March \n\n\n\nIn conjunction with Dwr Cymru Welsh Water (DCWW)\, the aim of this workshop will be to enable instructors who use reservoirs; particularly those in Bannau Brycheiniog National Park; to both appreciate them better and be able to educate their clients about them – but will also serve to build a stronger SWOAPG relationship with DCWW and help us secure continued access to reservoirs for paddlesport. This ‘pilot’ workshop\, if successful\, could become a regular fixture and perhaps even a requirement for users of the Bannau Brycheiniog Reservoir Passport Scheme. The workshop will take the form of a ‘short day’ (9.30am-2.30pm)\, based at Pontsticill and including a presentation\, a reservoir visit and a tour of a local water treatment works (e.g.Talybont\, since the Pontsticill works itself is now unable to accommodate us that day). Each workshop will be restricted to a maximum 12 participants. Book ‘tickets’ using the buttons below. \n\n\n\nThis workshop is open to all South Wales outdoor instructors\, for whom the following fees will apply: \n\n\n\n\nBannau Brycheiniog Reservoir Passport Holders (we will ask for evidence!): one FREE place (employed staff only) for each 2024 passport held\n\n\n\nOther SWOAPG Members and Supporters: £20 for first employee\, £10 each for additional employees (regularly employed staff only\, up to 1 staff per Member in first instance\, please e-mail the organiser if you wish to book more places).\n\n\n\nNon-Members: £53 (this will include Associate Membership until 31 March 2026\, enabling you to attend other workshops before then at the Members’ rate).\n\n\n\n\nOnce you have booked\, the organiser or workshop Provider will be in contact with you to confirm final details.
