News

The Malanda SES have continually supported the Tablelands Folk Festival and have an information booth set up at the Festival every year. 2014 was no exception with those pictured attending the Tablelands Folk Festival information and recruitment booth/stall in Yungaburra. Members are always ready to lend a hand where necessary and are a familiar and friendly sight over the weekend.

The Tablelands Folk Festival Vice -President Jenni Kruck has pleasure in presenting a cheque to Brian Walters from the Malanda SES.

Brian advises the donation will go toward the purchase of new LED emergency lighting.

The new LED flood lights are light and easy to setup, battery powered and replace large, heavy generator powered halogen lights. These new lights have been trialled elsewhere with success and so will make emergence call outs at night safer and more efficient for our local SES teams.

The TFF thanks the Malanda SES and we look forward to continuing mutual support.
