COMPLETION COURSE
The next Completion Course will be held at Carronvale House on 16th- 18th March 2007.
When travelling from south of Glasgow, follow the M8 until you reach the junction for Stirling (M80). Turn off here and follow the signs for Stirling on the M80/A80 until you come to the junction for the Kincardine Bridge (M876). Travel along the M876 until you reach junction 2, Larbert. Once off the M876 follow signs for Larbert, and particularly the train station. Pass the station on the left hand side, and turn right at the bottom of the hill, just before the petrol station, which is also on the left. Follow this road through the housing scheme for approx 1 mile, and turn left just after the traffic calmed part of the road.
Below is an example of how the course is presented. As you can see it is a busy weekend with a lot of work to carry out. This was the programme of the September 2005 course.
