This Course is run for one day only in Autumn, so you are prepared for the coming Winter. The cost of the course is $165 which includes notes and handouts. Your lunch and morning and afternoon tea or coffee and soft drinks are included, so all you need to bring is your pen, paper, bee suit or jacket.
