I spent the day at White Hall outside Buxton running the Stretcher sessions on the DCRO Induction Day. In addition, like other years, there were sessions on Rigging, Communications and Medical. There about 20 cavers in attendance so we had three sessions being run concurrently with seven or so cavers in each session with one session having a rest period.
During the first Medical session, which I attended as the Stretchers session was on a free period, on of the attendees, felt faint and lay on the floor. Luckily Dr. Jules was running the session and was able to render medical aid. Eventually he hadn't recovered very well so an ambulance was called but as it arrived it received a more urgent call and left immediately!
Soon afterwards a second ambulance arrived and took him to hospital.
Afterwards at 17:00 the DCRO AGM was held with Karen arriving a little while before. The AGM was over by 18:15 which left us a little time at home before moving onwards to the Miners Standard in Winster for the annual Photo Competition.
