WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
Following a nasty fall a few years ago requiring an air ambulance (the rider fully recovered), we think that it is important that we all learn from the experience.
- People schooling must be accompanied by at least one adult who should have a mobile phone on them in case of an emergency.
- If you need to call an ambulance dial 999 and explain what the problem is and state that you are at Fair Oak Cross Country Course Habyn Hill Rogate Near Midhurst. GU31 5HR. Our Grid Reference is SU813 226,
If the operator asks you for a reference using the app WHAT3WORDS then the answer for half way up our drive is decisions.sharpened.assumed
- Call us on 01730 821508 or Piers on 07836 220385 or Elizabeth on 07747 618795 to alert us of the problem and the exact location. We cannot guarantee you that the phone will be manned but generally there is someone around.
- If there is a spare person they should go to the bottom of the drive to show the ambulance the way in and where the injured party is. This is particularly important if the injury has taken place in the back or bottom field.
- Try to stay calm and give clear instructions of the situation and your location it can save valuable time.
