Hi Folks,
Hope all are well, with Seton Prettejohn’s help we have a new website up and running. See www.louisiades.com (www.louisiadesrally.com still works as well).
I will upload some more of the best hero shots we have to the photo gallery… but I am also keen to put up other pics…so email any pics you would like to add to the gallery.
Any suggestions for next year’s rally, edits or suggestions for the website welcome!
Our Rally support for the community doesn’t stop. We have been in constant contact with Amos Osborne, Jonathon Amos’s dad. (The kid with the tongue at Panapompom). With support from Rotary and ex Rally folk Jonathon received another few treatment of a drug in port Moresby…this was intensive in-patients treatment for three months…unfortunately there been no improvement so Jonathon is eligible for ROMAC…but this means he need to await a surgeon/hospital/anaesthetist etc. willing to donate time etc. I have advised Rotary/ROMAC to tell us if they need cash support.).
The money we raised for Paneati has just been sent to them today (there was doubt about bank details and who would get what so I held off until I had a consistent message from the Clinic’s head nurse and the Chair of the board. All sorted now so some trained electrons are sending the K5000 off.
MV Siletu (the Nimowa ambulance) has blown a cooling hose, special reducing bent one…so I am off to Cummins tomorrow to pick it up and get it couriered to Alotau.
Lastly, for those that think the rally is worthwhile and/or like the Louisiades…could you send me a one or two sentence comment (that I can quote) on how good the rally/and or Louisiades are…we need to compile some quotes for PNGTPA.
Cheers,
Guy Chester
