From the Secretary's Desk

Dear Members & Overseas Visitors,

Just a quick note to wish you all a safe and enjoyable festive season.

Also to let you know that Gary and I will be starting our First Swing and rehabilitation Clinic visits in Adelaide and regional areas of South Australia in the early part of the New Year to encourage participants to start the year in an active and positive manner.

We have also been approached to develop First Swing Clinics in Western Australia in the New Year, which we will organise as part of our schedule.

We will be setting up a standard format for revisiting our clinics in Tasmania, Mt Gambier, Naracoorte, Whyalla and Port Augusta to keep the support going for these regional and interstate areas where the response has been very positive to date.

We are looking at making contact with each region's chief prosthetist at the hospitals, to strengthen their support for what we are trying to achieve. The areas of discussion being the way to encourage participations and information flow.

We are also considering taking a team from Adelaide to challenge the regional amputees in the near future.

Gary and I will look at visiting other regional towns promoting the First Swing Clinics and offering this opportunity to every amputee and disable person.
