From its beginnings WCV have held weekend tasks; much more recently these weekend tasks have been supported and extended by the “Intrepid Midweekers”, who have their own programme of tasks (though this often links to the main programme). Events are briefly described in the table below.
All events are fully assessed and the necessary Risk Assessments are completed and made available to all. All events are supported by the required support mechanisms, First Aiders, etc
