THE SD FREE DSC LEVEL ONE COURSE. (In memory of Keith Robinson)

[sikamalc]

This is an opportunity for 5 members of this site to apply for a place on a DSC 1 Course, which is through our generous site supporters. This is also in memory of Keith Robinson.

The course is open to members ONLY of this site, NOT FRIENDS, or those that join the site having seen the advert. You must be a member for 30 days, and have 30 constructive posts. The site will pay for 5 places on the course. At present the venue has yet to be decided, but I am hopeful that this time you will be allowed to choose where, once BDS get back to me.

1. To apply you must be a site member for 30 days and have 30 constructive posts.
2. You need to PM me your full details. Name. Address, Email address. Mobile number.
3. You do not need a rifle, normally an estate rifle is provided.
4. The venues has yet to be decided, but it is hoped that you will be able to choose from the courses being delivered by BDS across the UK.
5. If you book and then do NOT attend the course you will be required to reimburse this site in full for the course.
6. The 5 winners will be drawn from a hat at the end of March 2025.
7. Winners details will be passed to BDS, after which it is down to you to correspond with their training dept, NOT me or the site.

PLEASE ALSO SUPPLY YOUR DOB AND FAC number if you are using your own rifle. BDS request this information.

Any questions please PM me. Sikamalc. Good luck to all of you applying.

Would it be possible for someone to do the BDS online version with this generous offer?

Having spoken to the BDS training centre this morning, yes they can.

This offer is for Level one, it does not include the meat handling and hygiene cert. (Just so everyone is aware)

A great initiative and a fitting memory for Keith (aka Sikadog) who sorted out so many of us with chillers/advice/repairs

Not only that, he was a genuinely nice gent to just chat with.

Good luck to anyone that does their DSC1 in memory of him
