2006 AUSTRALASIAN RESCUE CHALLENGE
So what are your plans for next weekend?
South Australia and your emergency services (SES, CFS and SAMFS) are hosting the 2006 Australasian Rescue Challenge from Friday 21 July through to Sunday 23 July at the Adelaide Showground at Wayville.
The event will see 23 fire and rescue teams from across Australia and New Zealand come together to showcase their skills and to compete in a range of road accident scenarios.
The really good news is that the entire event will be conducted in the warm and dry environment of the Wayville Pavilion. No more rain, no more sunstroke (not that sunstroke is a risk right now).
The event is very strongly supported by Holden Ltd, with more than 70 almost new Commodores, Monaros (yes new Monaros) and other Holden vehicles being ‘massaged’ into shape for the scenarios so that the teams can force entry and extricate the casualties.
So if your weekend ahead isn’t already booked up with visits to relatives, shopping forays into the crowds or dodging the rain in the garden, why not come and join us?
Where else can you stay warm and dry, support your emergency services, and watch brand new Holdens being turned into second hand cars very rapidly? And all this for a gold coin donation and a $5.00 car park fee. Best times 9am to 4pm each day. We also have souvenir merchandise (shirts, caps etc) for sale, and a trade display to browse through in between events.
So bring your identity card, a gold coin or three, and come support the services in this showcase Australasian event.
