This is not a dig at St. Johns ambulance service, I've appreciated their services in the past, but I personally don't think they provide much reassurance at ultimate tourneys in the sense that everybody is capable of applying a plaster, disinfectant or an ice pack and many of us have first aid experience anyway. Apart from possible insurance purposes I don't believe St. johns are necessary. Worse injuries will require an ambulance or paramedic anyway. I believe we should look into other possibilities. Are there any alternatives to St. Johns? How about putting the responsibility on the individual team by making each team have at least 1 or 2 certified first aiders and first aid pack?
Right, I'm assuming the position for a public flogging! VITO
