  • Fund-Raising for Northumbria Blood Bikes
    NORTHUMBRIANORTHUMBRIA BLOODBLOOD BIKESBIKES Annual Review 2014 - 2015 Background Northumbria Blood Bikes, which was established in late 2012 and went live in February 2014, provides out- of-hours emergency transport services, moving urgently needed blood, platelets and other medical resources between NHS facilities safely, efficiently and totally free of charge. Without access to a local Blood Bike group, hospitals have to rely on taxis to transport such items urgently out-of-hours at a cost of around £2 per mile, leaving them with bills of £10,000s per year. Our overall aim, as registered with the Charity Commission, is: “…….. to advance health or save lives, primarily in Northumbria, by providing a volunteer courier service ancillary to transport provided by the statutory authorities, for the transfer of blood, blood products and other medical resources between hospitals and medical facilities”. The charity uses specially adapted motorcycles and cars to assist local NHS Hospital Trusts, by providing transport between hospitals, other NHS facilities and sometimes other provision eg care homes. The vehicles used are all fully-liveried and fitted with blue lights, with the aim of ensuring that items go from pick-up to patient in the shortest possible time. Our Blood Bikes and Cars are now based at a number of ambulance stations and at one fire station, our thanks go the the North East Ambulance Service NHS Trust and to the County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service for this. Our Rota Manager also undertakes garage checks to ensure that the Blood Bikes will be secure when kept temporarily at members home addresses.

  • Fund-Raising for Northumbria Blood Bikes
    NovemNovemberber NORTHUMBRIANORTHUMBRIA 20142014 NewsletterNewsletter BLOODBLOOD BIKESBIKES th Northum bria completes its 500 run! Thanks to the efforts of hundreds of volunteers, riders and fundraisers, and thanks to the kind donations and contributions from thousands of donators, we are proud to announce that we have hit our 500th Blood run since we started our service in February this year: Five hundred runs in less than three hundred days! Good work! Our volunteers deliver blood and other urgent medical supplies 365 days of the year, day and night in every weather imaginable. Having visors that are clean, fog free and that repel the rain ensures we continue to make a difference for the NHS and its patients. That’s why we were so excited to open a delivery from our friends at Visorvision.co.uk who have provided us with enough award winning V2 sponges, FogTech anti-fog wipes and RainCoat water repellent spray for all of our riders. You can check out their products and see videos of them in action on their website: http://www.visorvision.co.uk/shop/ Thank you, Visorvision! The Ridley Arms, Morpeth: On Wednesday 5th November, Owain and Sue Harris, together with John and Val Parrish were invited by Cramlington Rotary Club to attend The Ridley Arms in Stannington, to present a talk on the work of Northumbria Blood Bikes. Traffic was horrendous, even in Washington: It was another master class of filtering for what seemed like miles as everywhere was gridlocked. The Ridley Arms was a welcome sight, lights blazing through the dark and slight fog, and the promise of warmth inside from all the log fires going – toasty! Sue and John and Val arrived shortly afterwards and we were introduced to our hosts.

    Police Aviation News 290 June 2020 1 ©Police Aviation Research Issue 290 June 2020 Police Aviation News 290 June 2020 2 ©Metro Aviation BUENOS AIRES: Metro Aviation based in Shreveport, Louisiana, USA has delivered two refurbished Airbus Helicopters AS350 B3 to the Ministry of Security of the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The refurbishments included mandated 12-year inspections of the aircraft. The overhauls involved many comprehensive repairs. Upon the aircraft’s arrival, the Metro team identified several areas of need involving lower blade corrosion, interior upholstery damage, and windshield impair- ment to name a few. In addition to repairs, the completion centre outfitted the helicopters with a fast rope system for air-to-ground police transport, an upgraded avionics system and a premium paint service. These completions mark the third aircraft Metro delivered to this South American customer, solidifying three years of partnership. BOTSWANA POLICE: Trakka Systems based in Moorabbin, Australia have an- nounced that it has been selected, through its local representative SAFOMAR, for the installation of A800 searchlights and TC-300S multi sensor cameras onto the new Botswana Police Enstrom 480B Helicop- ters. The Botswana Police Air Support division chose Trakka’s range of products following a lengthy and detailed tender and acquisition pro- cess. In service the Enstrom 480Bs will be used for crime prevention, wildlife conservation, command & control and search and rescue. ©Trakka CAYMAN ISLANDS POLICE: Different countries have applied the name ‘lockdown’ to their home situation but many of them are different. Most do not involve a rigid curfew. The Cayman Islands lockdown includes a strict re- gime of stay indoors and reinforces it with a strict night time curfew that is adhered to by at least 99% of the population.

  • The Chairman's Notes
    Worcester & Hereford Advanced Motorcyclists August 2016 The Chairman’s Notes Welcome to the newsletter. I would like to start by thanking Den Osbourne for organising probably the best Slow Riding Day WHAM have offered. What a fantastic turn-out. Feedback has been very positive from you all and many have mentioned how good an opportunity it was to test you and your bike in a controlled environment. Seems many of you particularly enjoyed the new set out and the braking exercise! It was another great team effort, on the Saturday set up and during the event. We have had a successful season so far with training. We are above average for F1RST passes and significantly above for IAM Test passes. Over the last 12 months we have achieved above average test ready status for Associates within recommended timescales. Our quality first approach to training of Observers and Associates is certainly working and ensuring a consistency in standards. Well done team. With the sun beating down it seems a bit strange to mention Christmas! However it is time for us to ensure we are booked and ready for the WHAM Christmas Dinner. Thank you to those who have contacted me or talked to members of the Committee to express their thoughts and ideas. Your views are noted and taken seriously. In addition we have the comments from the questionnaire earlier in the year. The last dinner was organised in Bromyard and a great time was had by all. We are conscious that you, the membership live in a large couple of Counties so we are exploring many options, including January when many of you don’t have work parties.
