ok, looks like my info was wrong - sorry.

The rider performance day is £99 for everyone and I believe there will be another one in September.
It's actually the Ride to arrive which is discounted for certain residents.

I went on the first aid course on Thursday and everyone that went on the Rider skills day said it was very good but very intensive (they were all dehydrated).

I met Jim Newman from Somerset Roda Safety Partnership who is a biker and is a good guy.
I think it's worth keeping an eye on their events because they are both good and cheap.

The First Aid course was good and I'd be much more confident and know what to do know if there was an incident.
It was free and included tea and coffee, but I had to go to Yeovil which took me quite a while in the car.
