Air Rescue Open Day- Westpac Air rescue, Emergency Services and the ACR Team.

Alpine Cliff Rescue team invitation to the Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust open day.

May 1st 2016, Yes its on again team and bigger than last year as we are now incorporating PBI and Camp into the mix as they support us for the day out on site with gear demos, product knowledge and public interaction.

Those of you that came last year will know the drill but same as, highline setup but BIGGER this year, I have permission to GO BIG, well higher anyway.

I'm needing a min number of crew for this at say 8 but is a good day out and lots of rigging and fun. If you are new to ACR please come as this will help you understand some of the higher level capabilities that ACR can provide.

Plan:

To construct a highline English Reeve to operate between 2 tripods and allow patients to move in between.

Please let mw know you can come by registering for this event.
