Welcome to the latest UFRC E-Newsletter!
As club secretary please find below the latest information on UFRC to pass onto your club members.
Our first UFRC Spring Gathering is set to take place on Saturday 4th March 2017 in Greenmount College, Co. Antrim and we would love to see you and your club there.
Official invitations have been sent out to all affiliated clubs for distribution and already the response has been fantastic with spaces filling up fast, so we recommend booking early to avoid disappointment! This event is an opportunity for those interested in walking to gather together to hear from inspiring speakers and learn some new skills. This promises to be a day not to be missed as we will be joined by Hannah Shields the first Irish woman to summit Mt. Everest, the team from Cotswold Outdoor with information on the latest in new technologies, as well as an enjoyable afternoon of workshops including first aid, navigation and safety on the hills training with North West Mountain Rescue.
