HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION. DEHYDRATION ALERT

We are pleased to report that David Akerstein is now fine.

But on Saturday he was very unwell and collapsed, due to DEHYDRATION.

This was determined in hospital later in the day.

The Ambulance and Hatzolah were called, as is our standard procedure.

And as we all know, this is very frightening.

David would like all of our members to be very mindful of what he experienced.

It was our first warm day of the season, and David had practised in the morning without sufficient fluids on Friday

and Saturday.  

By lunch time David suffered these ill effects.

Dehydration AND perspiring heavily can lead to serious and life-threatening complications, including:

PLEASE

Start practice or ANY GAME hydrated, and continue drinking throughout the game.

Be aware dehydration in most instances at the Club results in a FALL.

This in itself raises further complications.

USE A BOTTLE rather than a Cup.  These are not sufficient.

ASSIST ANYONE IN DISTRESS and get help. 

Call a Safety Officer.

Call the Ambulance on 112 and Hatzolah on 9527 5111

Stay with the patient, and respond to the questions from the Emergency teams

Call to someone to get the Defibrillator

PLEASE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO ATTEND THE IMPORTANT TALK ON “FALLS PREVENTION”

from 9 -10am On THURSDAY OCT 12.

Thank you to all of the Safety Team and Members who assisted on Saturday.

It was a great Emergency Response.

SAFETY TRAINING ON “PREVENTING FALLS”

THURSDAY OCT 12, from 9 - 10am

Members,

Our two biggest Safety Incidents at the club are:

1. Falls

2. Dehydration  (which usually leads to a fall, and significant injury as a result).

So we have arranged this Learn how to fall-proof yourself! talk, to be run by RDNS Experts.

It is before practice, as many of us are already there at that time.

Can you please make every effort to attend, and be on time at 9am.  (not the usual 9.30am).  

Did you know that a third of people over 65 experience a fall at least once per year?

And half of these are in and around the home.

In this session we will learn why we fall and what steps to take to reduce the risk of falling.

They will demo Strength & Balance Exercises.

And how to get up if you have a fall.

We will also take this opportunity to have a demonstration of the DEFIBRILLATOR Machine.

We know that most of us have seen this many times before.

IN AN EMERGENCY, we are very likely to be distressed and confused about what to do.

So if you have seen the demonstration before, it bears seeing this again.

There seriously aren’t enough times you can do so.

Any of your family members or friends are very welcome to attend.

YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY TEAM

CARRUM BOWLING CLUB PARKING RESTRICTIONSYour club will be playing Carrum Bowling Club at Carrum over the current Pennant season and I am writing to inform

you about the parking conditions at Carrum Bowls Club.

The Frankston Council has deemed Keast Park parking area as a paid area and has provided a very limited number of

passes to the Carrum Bowls Club.  This restriction means that we are able to only issue visiting teams with one parking

permit per rink valid for the day of play.  Passes will be provided to your Team Manager for distribution.

When playing at Carrum Bowling Club, I suggest that you advise your members to car pool 4 players to a car and on

Saturdays arrive at 12pm or earlier, or they will have to park in the metered bays and pay the appropriate parking fee.

Alternatively parking on Nepean Hwy north of our Club is free.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused but unfortunately this situation is beyond the control of the Carrum

Bowling Club.

We look forward to an excellent bowls season and to making you and your members feel very welcome when visiting

our club.

Kind Regards

Jennifer Ellis

Secretary & CCO Carrum Bowling Club

JOKES OF THE WEEK

1955 - 62 Years Ago....Comments made in the year 1955!

I'm afraid the Volkswagen car  is going to open the door to a  whole lot of foreign business.

Thank goodness I won't live to  see the day when the Governmenttakes half our income in taxes. 

I  sometimes wonder if we are  electing the best people togovernment.  

The fast food restaurant is  convenient for a quick meal,  but I seriously doubt they  will ever catch on

There is no sense going on short  trips anymore for a weekend. It costs nearly $2.00 a night to stay  in a motel.
