Sudden Cardiac Awareness Month
Each year thousands of New Zealanders experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, whether it be at home, or out in public, which means that you may be the determining factor in saving someone’s life.
Internationally, October is a month designated to promote awareness and understanding of Sudden Cardiac Arrest and provide information and tools on how to respond effectively in an SCA emergency.
The following information and videos on what Sudden Cardiac Arrest is and how to respond are sourced from HeartSaver NZ. Click here to visit HeartSaver NZ website.

Celebrating 160 years!
This Sunday, Auckland Bowling Club had planned to hold their 160th Opening Day. Alas, Alert Level 3 has postponed it for now,
Auckland Bowling Club is the oldest bowling club in the southern hemisphere. We think that's worthy of a virtual shout-out and congratulations - it's a historic milestone for bowls in NZ. We look forward to celebrating with you when we are able.
This week in NZ history
1975 — Whina Cooper leads a land march to Parliament About 5,000 marchers arrived at Parliament and presented a petition signed by 60,000 people to Prime Minister Bill Rowling. The primary aim of the hīkoi (march) was to protest against the continuing loss of Māori land.
1996 — New Zealanders go to the polls for the first MMP election In the first general election held under the new mixed-member proportional representation (MMP) voting system, New Zealand voters selected 120 members of Parliament through a mixture of electorate contests and party lists.
2010 — Silver Ferns beat Diamonds in Commonwealth Games thriller Just how close New Zealand and Australian netball teams became clear as the match, the longest official game of netball ever played, stretched over 84 pulsating minutes.
