The 17th National First Aid Competitions were held in Llandudno on 5 May 2006. A total of 24 teams competed on the day, 14 in the Mainstream Lanes and 10 in the Novice Section together with 4 reserves.

The results were as follows:

First Port of Hull 253.5 points
Second Associated British Ports – Grimsby and Immingham 231.5 points
Third Thames Humber 227.5 points

NOVICE LANE (maximum achievable score 280 points)
First Associated British Ports – Ipaswich ‘A’ 199 points
Second HSS Stena Explorer – Band Aid 196 points
Third Hutchison ports UK – Harwich International Port 188 points
WRITTEN COMPETITION (maximum score 20 points)

The highest scoring mainstream competitor was Sean Cummins from Stena Line – Dun Laoghaire with 15 points.

The highest scoring novice competitor was Neil Packer from Associated British Ports – Ipswich “A” with 15 points.

A gallery of photos taken at the competition will be added to the website shortly.

The competitions this year were again successful in terms of the enthusiasm and improved standards of first aid demonstrated by the teams and it was encouraging to have 24 teams competing on the day. Team numbers were slightly lower than last year, particularly in the Novice Lane, and we hope that the contacts made this year will be reflected in an increase in team numbers for 2007.
