Also, if anyone would like to help out (tail-end charlie, watching kids trying to ride on planks of wood, that sort of thing), then please let me know also on the above contact details.

Cheers, Celia.

I would be happy to help out, such as being a tail-end charlie, but I have no first aid training in the modern era at all ?

I can probably help out too - I have that weekend off work
