TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT OFFICER COURSE
Rob Arden from Tattenhall Runners has approached Andy Carter regarding a Traffic Management Officer (TMO) course that he is organising on Saturday 11th March. There are some spare places at a cost of Β£74 per head which will be funded by West Cheshire AC. This is a TESS managed course to gain the TMO qualification.
The Club has a few TMOs who are in need of an online refresher course so this isnβt for them but thereβs an opportunity here to get some more people trained up if thereβs any volunteers. If you are interested, please email Andy Carter ASAP at: [email protected]
