The Carnage Report from Nannup (Update on Paul Deklerk)

Well if you weren't at Nannup racing on the Anzac long-weekend, you probably aren't aware that Paul D. had one of the nastiest crashes we’ve seen for a long time (it happened off the large rock huck in the first rock garden).

First of all, Paul will be OK. Second, Paul sent me a SMS from Bridge town hospital to ask me to thank all those people involved in getting him off the hill—Thanks! Third, Paul suffered a broken bone on the side of the spine, but there is no spinal damage. Also, he has a small broken bone in his left hand. On top of all that he has ended up with some severe bruising to his legs, back, & buttocks. Today Paul received news that he should be out of hospital tomorrow (Thursday 1st May).

On behalf of PMBC and all the riding crew I would like to wish Paul a smooth and speedy recovery. All the best Paul, we hope to see you out on a bike soon.

Cheers,

Steve “Clubber of Seals” Buursema
