Welsh instructors and examiners examined 6 Drivers and 6 Crewman and gave basic training to over 20 young up and coming IRB crews, these young crews are now training with the qualified Irish Lifeguards to be able to complete their Crewmans award as soon as possible. A full report of the trip will be added below soon.
