FIRST AID TRAINING 
 
The club is looking at organising a First Aid Training course should we be able to get enough  
 
interest from members. It is in the club's (and your) best interests to have as many people with first aid  training and qualifications as possible - don't just leave it to the instructors.  
 
The course would be run by club member Keith Emin and you would get a recognised Senior First Aid qualification.   
 
The proposal is to run a Royal Life Saving Society course that can be tailored to meet the needs of kayakers.   
 
The Senior First Aid certificate from Royal Life Saving is recognised as a pre-requisite for employment by the  
 
WA Department of Police and meets the Level 2 - Workplace First Aid standard as determined by WorkSafe (Western Australia). 
 
 
 
The course duration is 16 hours and we need ten people to make it viable.  The cost is $120 to attend. At this stage we are 
 
asking for expressions of interest.  We aren't asking for a committment, just an expression of interest.   
 
 If enough people are interested then we will work out the details of the logistical arrangements. 
 
 
 
So if you are interested please contact Glenn Rogers on glenn@strategicachievement.com.au or 0418 908 555.

the great scenery) don't be put off by the social aspect of the night - get out there and slap each other round with your paddles. Prizes are awarded at the end of the season. Be ready to rumble from about 6 pm. More details here.
