The new DISC show (for January 2010) will be:
Rockin’ All Over The World - A Journey to Oz
It will feature music from all over the world, as Dorothy, the Tin Man, Scarecrow and the cowardly Lion search their way across the globe, trying to find the Emerald City in the magic land of Oz.
To be in the show you must complete and HAND IN an enrolment form, together with the required enrolment fee, by the end of the club session on Sunday 19 July. Forms must go to Jo-Anne Murray or Chris James only. It is your responsibility that YOUR form gets to the right person.
AND it is not only skaters who are required to make the show a success. As usual we need all sorts of helpers. Please read this plea for help, and if you can help in any way, pleeease do!

First Aid on the ice
The committee would like to remind all members that when there is a serious fall on the ice and it appears that an individual may be injured significantly, the situation must be assessed by one of Deeside Leisure Centre’s designated First Aiders. It is vital, therefore, that immediate contact is made with a Deeside Leisure Centre member of staff, when an event of this type occurs.
Any intervention of any type, prior to the arrival of a designated First Aider, must be kept to the absolute minimum necessary to sustain the well-being of the injured person. Intervention in excess of this will result in the Leisure Centre staff deeming that another person has taken control of the situation, and they will then NOT take the lead for first aid purposes at that point.
In particular it is important not to lift or move an injured person, unless you consider that this is absolutely in their best interests. Remember: you can do more harm than good by moving somebody who is injured. In the vast majority of cases, it is best to ensure that the injured person is accompanied at all times while waiting for the First Aider to arrive. Then let the First Aider assess the situation and determine how the injured person is to be treated and moved.
