CALLING ALL WELSH BIKERS!!!!!

Biker Down ..... essential first aid course sponsored by Powys County Council
To train you in the first bike on the scene first aid. Hopefully we will never need this training but it has to be vital to know how to help a fellow biker if the worst happens on a ride out- or even if you are in your car and come across a fellow biker after an accident.
There will be no charge for the course and it will be open to anyone, not just Powys residents. The organisers can take about 20 on each course, this is only down to everyone being able to practice the first aid or we'd take more.
The ambition is to run two courses a month, depending on the appetite for it, spread between Newtown, Llandod and Brecon Fire Stations and if a group wanted a course run specifically for them then they would be more than happy to accomodate it.
Check out
www.facebook.com/bikerdownpowys
and sign up for the course so they can let you know what the dates of the courses are which should start sometime in October this year........ and tell all your biker mates

Keep spreading the word amongst your biker friends as Powys covers most of Mid Wales

If you can get down to the
Ride it Right
event at Haslemere on Sunday the 16th from 10am they have very similar talks there.
Well recommended!

Excellent idea! Anyone familiar with Powys knows that it has some of the best biking roads in the Principality,if not the UK. The downside is that you can be a long way from A&E facilities should you be unlucky enough to need them. This seems like a logical step in the treatment of casualties in the first hour-which is so important. Could I ask anyone who rides these beautiful roads to support Wales Air Ambulance who operate 3 helicopters from Swansea, Welshpool & Caernarvon @ an annual cost of £5 million without a penny of government funding. They can be @ scene anywhere in Wales within 20 minutes from callout. Their slogan(in English) is Saving Time,Saving Lives.
My sister is hoping to move to Powys in the next 18 months so I shall hopefully spend more time in Wales.,riding those fantastic roads

Yep- I have been to Welshpool and chatted with the guys there and they are fundraising to replace the aging aircraft there with another like Swansea and North Wales.
It is surprising how limited their flying opportunities are in the old aircraft- no night flying and heavy weather reduces speed and flying time that the newer aircraft dont suffer from. The new ones are more comfortable for the 'passenger' too! Its a tiny little space you are slid into and cramped conditions for the parmedics and pilot
I have done some fundraising for them and there is a lottery you can do with them--- must join that!

Also........
You may think when an Ambulance picks you up in mid Wales it is NHS but the likelyhood is that it will be a St Johns Ambulance with unpaid unfinded guys and gals giving up their time for free to look after your aches and pains and quite a few busted bikers.
Another good cause if you see someone shaking a tin
