BIKERS across Worcestershire are being invited to a course offering potentially life-saving skills.

The Biker Down course is delivered through the support of a number of organisations who have a vested interest in reducing motorcycle-related casualties and the severity of injuries sustained.

Among the organisations involved are the Safer Roads Partnership, West Mercia Police, Midlands Air Ambulance, IAM RoadSmart and Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service.

The three hour long course takes place on Saturday, October 15, in Kidderminster, between 10am and 1pm.

Around 20 places are available on each course, and places are being allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

Full location details are provided to course attendees once their place is confirmed.
