October 13 - York Community Safety Day

Amy Taylor (Nee Cartwright) is one of the founders of the Ride_Group. Amy, Aaron and their son, Zac now live in York where Amy is a serving member of the WA Police. Amy tells me the York Community Safety Day promises to be a great day and I plan to take my grand children to it. 
York Community Safety Day

The event  is being held on Saturday 13 October 2012, from 10.00am to 4.00pm on the oval at the York Recreation Centre.

This is the largest community safety event to be held in Western Australia.    The event is FREE to enter.  Food and refreshments will be available for purchase.

On the day there will be:

• Free rides for children
• From 10.am to 11.am a display from the WA Police Pipe Band
• A display from Fire and Rescue with a vehicle recovery and fire fighting
• The RAC Rescue Helicopter will be making an appearance (pending any emergency)
• Prizes and giveaways and lots more 

There will be 18 displays from agencies that contribute to community safety.  Something for everyone.


This will be a great day for everyone, but in particular for kids. There will be displays of the latest and greatest emergency service vehicles (I can confirm from WAPOL we’ll have the new BAD – drug and alcohol – bus and a new concept Police Motocycle) as well as other safety stake holders. We’ve organised Rescue 65 (RAC rescue chopper) to attend and land at the event – obviously this is pending any real emergency and the new Police chopper will be a backup plan (fingers crossed).
