Comments
Just a quick pointer for future festivals, as a st john ambulance member we had quite abit of trouble getting ours and nwas’ ambulances through the padestrianised roads with the barriers (posts that sunk into the ground) and in the end had to proceed on foot to the casualties. It would help if these were put down on such occasions so we can reach people asap and with less difficulty. Thanks.
