Some years ago I was waiting in a bank and when I was called I rushed into a small office and not noticing a small step ended up flying towards a desk like superman and not wishing to damage my undercarriage, I twisted in mid air and landed on my side on the floor hitting my head on a cupboard with a big bang.

We have been given information by Laurence Floyd of two spectacular events which are being planned for 2018 and for those people planning a holiday in North Cyprus or the regular “swallows”, you might want to plan your visits around these dates in order not to miss some fabulous entertainment, which will be in aid of the Civil Emergency Service Volunteers (CESV).

Way back on April 23rd 2013, I had the opportunity to go to the TRNC Health Ministry in Lefkosa to witness the signing of an agreement that heralded the introduction of an emergency telephone text system that would enable people to text their blood group and local hospital detail to a database with the aim being to “Save a Life” by giving blood donations.

In the regular news feeds from Vicky Karaca at the Black Olive Cafe we noted her advice which we are sharing with our readers in the event that they may have to call for a TRNC 112 Ambulance.
“Hi Everyone
I hope you are all enjoying this lovely Cyprus weather and feeling like coming out of hibernation to raise more money for equipment for the Girne Hospital and the Emergency Services.
We had reason to call an ambulance for someone about a week ago, we were in Alsancak and the response time was less than ten minutes and it was so rewarding to see the efficiency of the crew and the fully equipped ambulance – very different to a few years ago!
You can all pat yourselves on the back, knowing that we have all helped in some way to help achieve this. On a serious note, some of the people that witnessed the lady who was taken ill did not know how to call an ambulance.
TO CALL AN AMBULANCE YOU JUST DIAL 112!! ( No other code is necessary – just 112) Please pass on this information to anyone who does not know this.
