With a nearby beach and an opportunity to book onto a boat for mackerel fishing, there will be no shortage of outdoor activities on your doorstep.

Do you know what to do in an emergency? What course of action should you take when your child chokes on a tasty brussel sprout or your father cuts his leg while slicing the cheddar? And what if they drop unconscious soon thereafter? To find out how to deal with these and other potentially more likely scenarios, join us for an informal 1-hour course in First Aid, courtesy of the British Red Cross, on Sunday 29th April, 3pm at St Weonards. Not for the squeamish – the wounds will be nasty and the blood flowing. As ever, spaces are limited, so please 
Join us on the weekend of 26th/27th May 2012 for this great opportunity to climb the highest mountain in Wales. This will be our second attempt to reach the summit of Snowdon after encountering some

On Sunday 21st October, 2012, Days Out With Dad will be entering a team of children and dads into the Junior MudRunner. This is a 5km race through (have you guessed?) a lot of mud. Don’t allow yourself to be put off too easily if you’re normally more of an armchair sportsman. This event is, quite simply, a lot of fun. Suitable for ages 5 and upwards.

We are delighted to have recently been awarded 2 grants to support our events – £250 from Sainsbury’s Ross-on-Wye branch for the “Build A Tudor House” event, and £200 from the Elmley Small Grants Art Fund for the forthcoming “How To Draw” event. Funding from local sources such as these shows the great level of community support that we enjoy, as well as being critical to ensuring that we can keep the costs of our events at a level that is widely affordable. Our thanks to both organisations. We have also enjoyed some recent exposure in the local press. Articles in the Hereford Journal, Hereford Times and Ross Gazette will have served well to increase awareness of our activities.
For a master class in how to draw for dads and children, look no further. Days Out With Dad, with the support of the Elmley Small Grants Arts Fund, offers you the expert guidance of Picasso himself to help bring some extra dimensions to your stick men. On Sunday 11th March, at either 9am – 12pm or 2pm – 5pm, in St Weonards, participants will be involved in a remarkable feat, stepping back in time to learn more about the life of the artist. They will further be guided through basic drawing and painting skills, with a focus on faces. Suitable for dads and children aged 5 and above, whether or not they think they can draw, and whether or not their faces are worthy of artistic re-invention. The entry fee will be £5 / head. Capacity is strictly limited, so please book your places early by
