Lytham St Annes Celebrate Win
Lytham St Annes Unit are in high spirits
after being awarded 1st place and winning the Cheetham
Cup for their float in the annual Lytham Club Day Carnival
on Saturday 26th June.
The Badger, Cadet and Adult Unit all joined forces to enter the
competition. Several weeks of hard work were put
into the planning and production of the float, including a few late
nights in the week leading up to the carnival.
The float documented the history of St John Ambulance over the
last 100 hundred years, illustrating how the image of the
organisation has evolved over time, with Cadets
dressing up in the different uniforms from times gone by.
Winning first place was a great surprise; everyone put a lot of time and effort into building the float and I am really proud of the whole unit.
Julie Whitaker
Unit Leader, Lytham St Annes
Members took turns during the two and a half mile procession to
complete CPR demonstrations on the float
illustrating the importance of learning first aid
and knowing how to deal with an emergency situation involving an
injured casualty.
Unit leader Julie Whitaker commented: 'The carnival was a great
day, the weather was amazing and everyone really enjoyed
themselves. Winning first place was a great surprise, everyone put
a lot of time and effort into building the float and I am really
proud of the whole unit.'
