Hi AJ,
Was there some incident or is this just a general thought?
If it's a matter of handling medical emergencies, then we may also want look
into who are the trained / semi-trained individuals in the clubs who could
be called on for immediate first aid. I myself am a first responder for our
company but don't normally carry any advanced life support gear outside the
company property. In the case of a cardiac or stroke related issue time is
everything. So we may want to look at a contingency plan of calling in an
evac (not the club) or DPS chopper to drop in on the field / meadow for
transport. I will talk with DPS about their transport policies as well as
look at other evac options if that meets with the groups approval. A quick
drive over to the gravel pit to make a phone call for help is faster than
trying to transport and handle a life threatening emergency in the back of a
pickup truck while making the long drive out (been there. no fun).
While on the subject it is also helpful to have one medications and medical
records on hand should something happen that they are incapacitated.
Individuals with cardiac, diabetic, seizure related medical conditions come
to mind. It's very stressful to have an individual go down, try and figure
out what is wrong and properly address it (have handled those too).

It has brought to my mind where the closest medical facilities are at our
observing sites. I have no idea of their location and could spend some time
guessing, searching and guessing some more to come up with some results.
Yet is there someone out there who has better search facilities that could
do this. The results could be posted here and/or on the web site.
