TEN members of Bere Alston Trekkers (BATs) completed their emergency first aid course last weekend. 

The course, which covered resuscitation, dealing with choking, broken bones, anaphylaxis, heart attack, dressings etc had a sports theme and equipped those taking part with the skills needed to deal with an emergency not only when out running but for everyday situations.

 Those taking part included coaches, run leaders and members who regularly train with the club.  The course ensures that all of the club's groups has at least one first-aider on every run.
