SAFETY ROADSHOWS

It’s that time of year again when the team hit the road! Come join us!

This year roadshows will have a safety focus with contributions from the RNLI. We are looking forward to welcoming the RNLI and hearing all about what they are doing for safety messaging. For the first time, we are opening up the roadshows to non-members as we feel it is important to spread our safety messaging. This year we will be visiting some exciting new venues. We look forward to seeing you all there. 

It’s free to book and includes refreshments and snacks to keep you fuelled up.
