National Training Event Programme
Below is this year's National Training Event programme. We will aim to keep this as up to date as we can in the run up to the event. As the event approaches the few remaining gaps in the programme should be filled and the details finalised.
However, as ever, there is always the possibility that there will be small changes that have to be made to the programme for reasons beyond our control.
