Title: Calling all former Unley St John members
Post by: Pipster on September 06, 2008, 01:01:36 AM
Hi all,

I am trying to locate any former members of the Unley St John, prior to 1991.

There is a move to organise a reunion.    :-D

For any interested members, there is a website at

That would be me, and I will pass this on to some other former members as well :wink:

My father-in-law wanted to see a St John's reunion, but unfortunately he died 2 years ago.

I believe he was part of the Unley area crew approximately 40+ years ago. I understand he was part of a motorcycle patrol, but not absolutely sure.

We have his original metal first box and a first aid manual dated 1979. We also have his red Rescue manual dated 1975 when he was a SES volunteer.

Any information of photographs would be appreciated so that my wife can 'fill in some blanks on her Dad's past'. He was a quiet person who did not talk about some times.

Thanks,

Nice to see the SE isn't the only area in SA with a strong connection between St John and CFS with members wearing both hats

It's what we do for our community, and saving lives is one of them.One of our former members is now a RM in the SE.
