We had a fantastic weekend at this years Middlewich Folk and Boat festival... Ok we don't dive in canal's but we do love boats!

Had quite a few visitors to our stand, sold five try dives and have since had a few 'folk' come along to our pool sessions at Winsford Lifestyle centre to find out more about us!

Happy Days :-)

Working towards attaining Clubmark

2010-02-09T06:06:00.000-08:00

Vale Royal Sub-Aqua club is comitted to providing top quality diver training in a safe and enjoyable environment.

To this aim, we've decided to try and attain the Clubmark accreditation. You can read more about the accreditaion here ~ http://www.clubmark.org.uk/about/about-clubmark

If we are successful, we'll be amongst the first British Sub-Aqua Club branches to achieve this and we hope it shows our intent to remain at the forefront of our own sport and in line with other Sports Organisations in terms of National Coaching standards and Welfare policies particularly when it comes to the protection of both vulnerable and young persons.

All branch instructors and comittee members now go through CRB checks as a matter of course. In addition, various members of the branch will be attending supporting training courses either sponsored by BSAC or the local council over the coming months...

We'll keep you posted here on our progress!
