We are thinking of having bi-monthly flare demos at the Scarborough Boat ramp..

Simple question - would you come Yes or No...

It would be a great chance to get crew / family members aware of the danger in using it.

Do we get to test our expire flares so we are prepared. Practice makes perfect

sorry Timddo... we don't even use expired flares for the demo. Once past the expiry month / year they are illegal, hence any incident that could occur, we would then face all sorts of OH&S problems.

Generally we have a set time slot of half an hour approved by all the govt departments. If this poll suggests some interest, we may be able to apply for an hour session, however we would still need to check where we stand for insurance as the host for the event to allow non-active members to do an actual practice....

Thanks to those who have voted so far....

QF3...i would prefer to think an orange note donation would be more appropriate....they can donate the gold coins to the raffle tickets for the tinny.

Name the time...will be there.
