                    ICE
Message from the Ambulance Service
We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its
memory. If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the
people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn't know who to
call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the
contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this 'ICE' (In Case of
Emergency) Campaign.
The concept of 'ICE' is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact
during emergency situations. As mobile phones are carried by the
majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a
contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under
the name 'ICE' ( In Case Of Emergency). The idea was thought up by a
paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents there
were always mobile phones with patients but they didn't know which number
to call.
He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a
nationally recognised name for this purpose.
In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff
would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply
dialling the number you have stored as 'ICE'.
Please forward this. It won't take too many 'forwards' before everybody will know about this. It really could save your life, or put a loved one's
mind at rest.
For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc.
PLEASE PASS THIS AROUND AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE AS THIS CAN HELP IN AN
EMERGENCY

Just wanted to say today's toy fair was the best yet. Thanks to all for all the hard work in organising the event. Outside attractions were excelent and many thanks to all who brought vehicles to display.
The clubs chosen charity, 'The Great North Air Ambulance' made an apperence and did two circuts of the playing fields before being called away on urgent business.
I'm sure their are not many other clubs that can boast this amount of activity at a toy fair.
Photographs have been sent to club's IT coordinatore and I'm sure will appear on clubs web site.
Once again a big pat on the back to all concerned.
