St John Ambulance – Unofficial Blog

Apologies for the 3 weeks of unscheduled downtime, I had some issues with the site. That, and starting a new college year meant it was far easier to not support the site for a while until I could get everything all sorted out.

You may notice an article has gone missing – Cadet Membership Award. I’ve had to take this down, as it happens to be a product you should be ordering from St John Ambulance Supplies – see publications.
Anyway, all of the CI things are back, in line with the official release (I was as sick of waiting as all of you were, believe me…), and I can promise there is a lot more to come, including special LD/IOM versions.

Finally, does anybody have any county/unit specific forms that they would like checking over or putting into the new CI? If so, just send them to me at my usual email address and I shall do my best – I can usually get them back to you in around 7 days!

I have been CIing some Cadet Forms for Oxforshire at the request of your Cadet of the Year. I have done 08, 09 & 11. They have been made available here to make it nice and easy for members who need them to get them, and to allow other counties to see some example paperwork.

I am more than happy to do similar CIing of existing paperwork for any St John Ambulance member, just drop them to me at my usual email address!

As some of you are aware, today is the day that NHQ release the .exe installer for the new, and fully-working Office2003 templates.

Not wanting others to be left behind, I have already produced the versions for the other office suites and they are available from the CI Roll-Up tab at the top of this page!

I know, I’m almost as bad as NHQ for releasing updates at the moment, so I apologise in advance! However, I’m pleased to announce updates have now been made available for all office suites, with more to come in the very near future.

The update packs include some of the new stuff that volunteers have been producing. If you have any more stuff, please send it to me – NMB340 ‘at’ GoogleMail.com

My apologies to all who use my nice unofficial site with the roll-up packages, as I have recently taken a 2 week break from college (and subsequently had no internet access). I am in the process of downloading all of the new stuff, de-techno-fying it so that everybody can use it across all platforms. I’ll do likewise with all of the contributions from everyone. Give me about 7-10 days, and all of the new stuff (LINKS logo included) should be on my site.
Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get an .exe full of images to work for me… It’s damn good I can read VBA, because I’m able to put the images in the correct place with the correct names – it just takes time!
