10 Feb 2025 CPD Workshop: Learn about…Bannau Brycheiniog Reservoirs

First of two repeated workshops – second on Fri 7 March

In 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.

This workshop is open to all South Wales outdoor instructors, for whom the following fees will apply:

• Bannau Brycheiniog Reservoir Passport Holders (we will ask for evidence!): one FREE place (employed staff only) for each 2024 passport held
• Other 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).
• Non-Members: £53 (this will include Associate Membership until 31 March 2026, enabling you to attend other workshops before then at the Members’ rate).
