Baseball and Cricket clinics
Today we opened the show with Jody Burch and Francois Siebrits and they have been running baseball and cricket clinics since Monday 3 December 2007 to Friday 14 December 2007.
The clinics will be taking place from 09h00 in the morning until 12h00 in the afternoon daily. They are for both boys and girls from the ages of 6-16 years old.
The cost is R50 to R70 per day at Chukker Road Sports Fields in Lansdowne. They invite you to come have fun and learn a sport skill.
The gallery is open weekdays from 9am to 5pm
WaterWise
We ended off the show with Meriel Bartlett from the National Sea Rescue Institute. She spoke about their WaterWise project and also gave us tips for those who will be visiting the beach over the festive season.
One of the programmes that they are running, especially at schools, is called ‘Breathe for your Buddy. They teach children how to perform CPR (in the easiest way possible). They also teach the children HHH, Hello, Hazards and Help. This means that one should first check if the person is awake and can hear you (HELLO) then you have to check for any anything dangerous (HAZARDS) and lastly call for assistance (HELP).
Some of the other projects that they work on is missing children (kids who go missing at the beach), they will help you to locate the missing person, whether it be on the beach (on land) or in the water. They also have projects relating to alcohol on beaches.
“People can call the NSRI at any time, we won’t charge them for the call or the help we offering. It’s all FREE, “says Meriel.
Lastly Meriel had this to say: “Don’t swim where there are no lifeguards present. Lifeguards will always be at a beach where it is safe for you to swim…”
