Items such as Courses, Seminars, Competitions etc will be placed on the EVENTS pages, and any SDF member who has ANYTHING happening that they wish to have on these pages, please feel free email me and I will stick them on. BUT, please give us enough pre-notice! I often get people contact me with something happening on a Saturday on the MONDAY prior. so bags of notice guys .. Thanks!
Also most news items will be kept for around ONE month or so then deleted.
INSURANCE COVER Please note I have just received a new communication from our insurers. They are now using NEW application booklets and have NEW rates commencing 1st January 2010 I have NO control over these rates, and I will do some more research to see if I can get better rates elsewhere. the new Rates are: £2million cover = £70.00p per instructor per year £5million cover = £90.00p per instructor per year £10million cover = £110.00p per instructor per year This is for Instructors Public Liability
The rate for Personal Accident per instructor is £55.00p
Alan Bell our Rep in the Highlands & Islands of Scotland has sent me a copy of his new book "The Complete Book of Personal Safety". Its to be highly recommended and Alan kindly asked me to do the foreword. Contact Alan if you would like a copy.
As well as Alan's Book mentioned above, we have yet another 'offer' to mention from Martin J Dougherty of SDF Sunderland. So to make it a tad fairer and easier I have placed more details/announcements on the SDF GOODS Page. This is 16th down from the top on the list at the left hand side. Both books are well worth the prices and different enough from each other to make purchasing BOTH of them good value. After all you can get BOTH of them for under £20. now that ain't bad.
