Sorry for taking so long to get back to this :D

I had a lot of trouble making a group booking, but we now have a booking for 6-8 people (between 5:30 and 6:30) on Thursday the 1st May (earliest group booking available) at Pelican Plaza Donor Centre (North East Rd just past Tea Tree Plaza) - although the city is more central parking is almost impossible and too high a chance of getting doors bumped.

If you can make this date can you please post or PM me.

Yep I am 100% in. I have purposely not donated (even though I am due) for the last month to do this.

Shaun if you haven't donated before then you have a 15 minute interview with a Red Cross person to make sure you are eligible - then whammo you start giving!

DOH! I'll be on my way to the Flinders Ranges - I'll just have to donate here in the city another day. Glad to see this go ahead though - Donating blood is a fantastic thing to do.

It began for me in high-school when one of my mate's mum was diagnosed with a rare cancer. Regular blood transfusion (of donated bloods) kept her going for another 2 years, and her dying wish was that everyone who knew her donated regularly - and I have ever since.

All I can say is, the advertising is true. You really are giving the gift of life :D

Here is a copy of the donor form. Donor_Questionnaire.pdf

If you answer yes to some of the questions eg have you ever had Cancer including a melonoma? this wont exclude you from donating but they will follow up in the interview with other questions. In my case the melenoma was over 5years ago, so I'm OK to donate.

You get free food and drink even if you they tell you you cant donate, so come allong and give it a go.
