Sau Qld - Blood Drive - 26/10


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

It's back and better than ever! The SAU QLD Blood Drive has been arranged for the 26th of October at the Edward St Donor Centre. The Red Cross has even been kind enough to organise parking for us - just working out the finer details of that at present.

Donating blood is a great cause and each litre can save 3 lives! Remarkable cause and with the great turnout we had last time, thought that we should do it again. Only, there's something a little different this time.... IT'S A COMPETITION!

After our last effort, Oscar from SAU VIC contacted me asking if they can conduct one as well. I mentioned that maybe we should make this huge and get the other states involved.... So, now we have SAU:SA, SAU NSW and SAU VIC coming to the party. They have contacted their respective donor centres and are all donating on the same day. The aim is for 150 donors over the eastern seaboard (and SA) from SAU on the one day.

Can you donate? http://www.donateblood.com.au/who-can-give/am-i-eligible

Who: Friends and Family of SAU QLD Members

What: Blood Drive to assist those in need

When: Saturday, 26 October, 2013. From 9am through to 2:30pm.

Where: Red Cross Blood Service, Edward St Donor Centre, Upper Ground Floor, 288 Edward St, Brisbane

Parking options will be provided once I have cemented it with the Red Cross

Why: Because donating blood is a great cause. It gives you a chance to help those in need, laugh at those who pass out/faint and smash VIC, SA and NSW

How: Register your interest and we will then secure a time for you.

Post up any questions here and one of the exec will answer it shortly. Alternatively, use the hyperlink in my sig to email me. :)

Last time we had 20-something donors, this time the target is still 30. Plasma also counts.

Let's get it happening and flog these guys!

Cheers,

Tony

I would be in for this if I wasn't still in hospital. I would also like to thank everyone in advance who donates blood as I had a transfusion after my surgery two weeks ago (I lost a heap of blood during the op and my haemoglobin was down to 56) I was meant to get 4 bags but got a massive temp on the second one.

so thanks again to all that donate your helping people like me who make stupid decisions recover and live : )

cheers, shaun

Sorry guys count me out I am no longer allowed to give blood since my DVT last year and they discovered my bloods retarded (like the rest of me) however if you can then go for it!!! Great cause!!!

Blood and blood products really are awesome! I used to be a Nurse and I've seen first hand the amazing benefits that these products provide the ill, the stupid and the unlucky.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
