Fred Manning is one of our founder members. Many members will know him...and some will even have been taught to fly by him!

Fred's story was published in the Gold Coast Bulletin on 17th April 2010 and, with the Bulletin's kind permission, can be downloaded [HERE]. You can adjust the size of the pdf for reading. I suggest 100% is a good place to start!

It's a terrific story and well worth a read!

Folks

A request from Brian. In the event that someone is injured and needs to be taken to hospital, please notify the club secretary - Brian Porman - on 9488 9973, as he is usually the person that other members, police, family etc will contact.

Thanks

Ed

There will be a new first aid kit put in the pound on Saturday morning.

This is a NEW KIT in a sealed plastic tub.

Please observe the following rules:

If there is a need to use any of the items including the painkillers, please consider replacing them at your convenience.

There is a small box of Asprin which should be saved for anybody suffering from chest pain particularly if symptoms suggest a cardiac crisis.
IF THIS HAPPENS, 4 to 6 Asprin should be ingested immediately as a front runner in the management of this crisis. Obviously don’t take if allergic to Asprin.

Please also make sure the tub is properly closed so that the kit can be sealed from vermin infestation.

The existing first aid kit on the door is now in breach of infection control as it is not sealed and will be replaced in the not too distant future. Therefore refrain from using it unless absolutely necessary and use the new kit in the sealed tub.
