As Steve mentioned at a club meeting a couple of months ago, some of our fishing ventures can be to quite remote places and some time/distance away from help if required we thought a first aid course might be of interest to club members.

Below is a Senoir First Aid course run through the Scarborough Surf Life Saving Club. ( Disclaimer I am associated with the club through my Kids, any profit will be to the benifit of the Surf Clubs operations) They are more than on the money cost wise.

Please post your interest in this thread and we will see if it can be got off the ground. We will need approximatly 6 to 8 to make it fly and max. 12.
List of Interested
Tony Ong
Steve Bradbury
Dave Bailey
Brian Harwood



Details as below

Over 3 evenings - say Tue/Wed/Thu from 7-10pm each night at the club. This may be spread over a couple of weeks or it can be done as a 1 day thing just that would be 9hrs and a bit of a head fry.

The course syllabus is:
• Apply the principles of First Aid
• Recognition and management of emergency situations
• Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
• Treatment of infection, shock, fractures, bleeding and burns
• Emergencies due to lack of oxygen, excess heat or cold
• Recognition and management of medical conditions that may need emergency care, including heart attack, stroke, asthma, diabetes and epilepsy
• Management of common medical emergencies
• Treatment of poisoning including venomous bites and stings

The cost is $175 per person for the full certificate, or $110 for requalification.

Sorry gents,
as we only got 5 who put their hand up, and between now and a bunch of us travelling to CXI.Buy the time we get back the surf club will be starting to ramp up for summer operations. We will try and get this off the ground next year.
cheers
