Geoffrey's nasty accident and subsequent trip in an air ambulance is a reminder that emergency contact details can be extremely valuable. Mark Gladwyn was able to provide this information to the emergency services when he arrived on the scene. If you didn't provide details last year, please give serious consideration to adding them.
Learning from Geoffrey's experience, next year's membership cards will also have a space for date of birth: this might help identify hospital records etc if you need them. (We are not including date of birth on the contact list, you may be pleased to hear.)

One suggestion is that those carrying mobile iPhones should list relevant contacts as ICE Mark Cav or whatever. ICE meanining IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. This technique is widely used in Europe.
Even when the iPhone is electronically locked a passerby can use the iPhone to quickly find and contact your wife or whoever you so designate as an ICE. This happened to my great benefit on 16.11
Perhaps an Android phone user could comment.

Hi Geoffrey,
I tried it on my Android phone, without success, but possibly due to my incompetence, so others may want to try too.
With very best wishes for a speedy recovery.

You may need to copy and paste to get the links, though they appear on my phone.
