If you live in a sponsored county (North, East, South or West Yorkshire or North East Lincolnshire) you will pay a £70 deposit now and a further £210 on request 8 weeks before the event. All bookings require a deposit of £70. Bursaries are applied to the final payment for which you will be provided with a Coupon Code. All other attendees of this Pathfinder course will benefit from a £100 bursary from the Under 17 Car Club Charitable Trust, reducing the overall cost of the course to £300. This is made up of a £70 deposit followed by the remainder of £230 due on request 8 weeks before the event. If you need additional financial support in order to take part please apply for a bursary here before booking. Once the Trustees confirm that a bursary is available you will be able to complete the booking process.
