Ok so we all need our arse kick for giving up on this thread.

I’ve started a club red group.

it will take a couple of days to start up but when there is info on it i will post it.

Maybe to help this along we can suggest when you put your name down on a epic ride EG coffs ride with our “p” plating friend we can say that they need to donate to get on the ride unless there is a legit reason why they can’t.

These are all just brain storming ideas.

Please help as i know to many people around us that have been or could be in a postion where they need it.

Now that is a good idea Corey!! We dont charge to go on a ride here at OBT. But a blood donation as payment to be on a particular nominated ride, would be a good thing to look at. Like you said Corey, just thinking, any other ideas are welcome.

Very good idea for all the OldBulls who wanna start giving blood Mick:) I give every 6 months at work, The donor bus picks us up and takes us to Maitland Hospital than brings us back. A women at work organises it. It’s pretty cruisy shootin the breeze with the nurses too and I get a choccy milkshake aswell:)

Good on ya Bollocks , awesome stuff !!

As I lived in the uk during the 80’s when mad cows roamed the countryside I can’t give blood in Australia unfortunately
My mother has given blood every 3 months over their for almost 50 years which I reckons a top effort !!

I USED to give blood regularly, in fact, me and the bride used to make a trip out of it , get a milkshake and come home . Until one day after work I met the bride at the blood bus , I hadnt had enough to eat during the day I suppose , but I`d given blood, had a juice and a biscuit, then when they sat the chair up I went out for the count, felt like seconds but in fact I was in and out for 2-3 minutes, they were on the phone for an ambulance when I came to. made me sit there for half an hour, pumped me full of juice and bisciuts.
2 weeks later I got a letter stating the blood giving wasnt for me anymore , even though i`d given for 10+ years .I got a keyring and a dont come back. Shame really, it was probably a one off , not enough food and big day at work.
moral; make sure you eat before you go and give blood
