  1. Self Defence

As many club members often run by themselves, and in less populated locations, personal safety always needs to be a concern. We therefore thought club members would value having some skills training and strategies for self-defence.  We have organised a Krav Maga self-defence session for Saturday 28th May 9:30 – 12:30 at a Club subsidised cost of £15.50 per person. We need 20 people for the session by 29th April please. Sign up link available next week.
