dates for this course
By Merrilee Verhoeven on Monday, 10 November 2008 (AEST)
The dates for this course are yet to be set.  It is anticipated it will be held in May/June 2009.
As there are limited spaces (20), branches will be asked to nominate 1 (one) person from their branch to participate, it is anticipated that branches will also be required to help fund the members attendance, at this stage the cost of the course is $209, plus any accommodation and meals the branch attendee will require.

 
It is also anticipated that a refresher course will be organized for those members that attended the first ERTC 2 years ago.  Watch this space…..
