If you have any questions or would like to find out more about the team please contact us, we would love to hear from you. CRT actively recruits new members onto the team during the first two weeks of each school term. Unfortunately, we cannot accept new members onto the team outside these two week periods. All members, new and returning, are required to attend the CRT training weekend which will run on the second weekend of every term after classes have started. After training weekend, the team will meet weekly to practise skills.
