The countdown is well and truly on for the National Disaster Rescue Competition, which is being held in Adelaide over the weekend of the 9 -10 July 2011 at the Adelaide Showgrounds. Teams from all States and Territories will be competing in the biennial event, with the teams comprising volunteers, competing against each other in a series of “emergency situations” where they  demonstrate their skills, knowledge and ability as a team in what will be “trying conditions”.

The competition is going to be open to the public and will have viewing areas near each stand and of course SES volunteers support is needed to assist with stand reconditioning and other activities. So why not get a group together from your unit and then  let Craig Brassington know of your willingness to assist. Craig’s contact details are ph: 8345 9100 or email brassington.craig@ses.sa.gov.au
