Mountain bike skills for Kids

I'm keen to get my nephew (12) & niece (9) into mountain biking. He has a Giant, which is great, she has an old heavy "pretend" mtb, which needs replacing! I'm thinking of arranging a mountain bike skills training course for them as a Christmas present. They both bike a lot (no car) including some off road tracks. Has anyone any experience of courses/training? I'd need to hire a decent bike for the younger one (unless anyone's selling a second hand kids mountain bike?!?) too. They live near Hereford, so Wales/Welsh borders ideal.
Thanks

My son goes to Llandegla (North Wales) where in conjunction with Rhyl CC they run go-ride sessions, he has also been on "MTB academies" that they run.
Llandegla themselves run courses - see here: http://www.oneplanetadventure.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=category§ionid=4&id=60&Itemid=153 but it is probably a bit far.
Sorry can't be of any more help.

You could also try the British Cycling website and go to club finder, then go to go-Ride clubs, West Midlands region.
Alternatively, there might be a club nearer to you in Wales.
