First aid Type course for KBers

**Firefight** · 8th August 2005, 09:21

Ok, got ya, its NOT a first aid course !!, however we are going to run a training session to cover emergancy trauma managment/scene safety at crashes, and some CPR.. we will also cover the normal range of questions, ie what to carry in a bike rider first aid kit etc etc,we will also hopefully expell some myths about Helmet removal, and cover any other crap you may care to ask us.

If you get the chance to do a St Johns first aid or workplace first aid course, I would recomend it, we don,t have two days to spare to run that sort of course, and the logistics of getting everyone together, including the instructors, most of who are shift workers is bloody near impossible.

The last course like this we ran, seemed to be very popular, and we have had heaps of people asking when the next one is going to be.

At this stage , it will be sometime in the next 5-6 weeks, venue will be advised, it will be held in the evening and will last about 3-4 hours.

The last course was held at good old Frostys place in deep dark scary west Aks, have not asked Frosty if we can use his house yet, what we want to do is find out whos keen, and what area you live in, then we will sort a venue and try and work it round our instructors shift work.

So, what we need is an indication of who wants to come, what evening would suit you best and what area you would prefer to come to.

We will then try and sort it out and advise.

Hey FF --Goes without sayng my place is always available if you need it.
A suggestion though. How about we talk to AMCC about doing it at their clubrooms in Ellerslie on a thursday night.
Plenty of parking. good lighting etc etc -and generally club nights n winter time are pretty quiet.

Hey F/F

Sam and I are both keen to come along... We live on the Shore... but don't mind riding out to where-ever as long as a good map is posted

Any night is fine... but will confirm once a date and time/location are set

That should work well for you guys, as this course will be held on the shore.

I've done some day course but I've forgoton most of it. Being an active member for most KB rides, I think I should participate in this. You never know when this sort of knowledge might come in handy in your everyday life.
