We had the Gaiety Theatre all to ourselves for a brilliant tour of all areas from the projection room of the Cinema (yes there used to be a Cinema) high up in the 'gods' to see the workings of the unique 'Corsican' trap door under the stage. Well worth a visit, thank you guys!  

A big 'THANK YOU' to Kevin and the team from the Manx Bat Group for a wonderful evening in Summerhill Glen searching for bats.                                          

The nature reserve had increase substantially in area since we last visited and the guys from Manx Birdlife have some much knowledge to share with us.  This is not to be missed! DETAILS CLOSER TO THE TIME                         

                Unfortunately the Friday trip had to be cancelled due to strong winds but the guys on the Sunday had a great time, commiserations to the Friday group

CONGRATULATIONS to the eleven members who successfully completed the St. John Ambulance First Aid Course. Everyone enjoyed the course which was presented with plenty of humour.  We now have twenty-two qualified First Aiders in the club.  And a big Thank You to Ian, the First Aid instructor,  for making the course so interesting

Despite our best efforts of safety, being careful and looking out for each other, unfortunately on rare occasions, accidents and incidents do happen when we are all out walking. In an emergency, a very quick dynamic assessment will deduce if we need to call the emergency services  here on the island that will connect us to the emergency joint control room and one of the vital initial pieces of information they require is ‘ What’s your location?’ A number questions now confront us and the quicker we reply with this information, the quicker the correct emergency services can be dispatched.Postcodes, road names, house numbers and a gird reference are all valid options, especially the latter - if the incident is in a remote location but new options of digital applications are now available and are used here on the island by our first response emergency teams.
