Local Defibrillators

25/11/2021

 
Picture
For those unaware, there are TWO defibrillators in the village.

1. One is located at the entrance to the village hall. To gain access, you must call the number on the panel and identify the location. You will then be given an access code.

2. The second is located in the old phone box opposite the new development on the site of the Old Rose & Crown. 

Defibrillators can be very effective in saving lives, but quick access and having the knowledge to know how to use the equipment safely is critical. Modern defibrillators have a voice guide which takes you through the process step-by-step, and they will not shock people unless their heart is in need of it. The main thing is not to touch the casualty at the time of shock!

Training is made available from time to time.

Installation of Fire Alarm System in Village Hall

John Lee has asked that we report the following;

As a result of the closure of the village hall for most of the last year, and Covid restrictions, it has only just become possible to complete the installation of the new fire alarm system which is now in operation throughout the whole building including the nursery.
  We are extremely grateful to the National Lottery Community Fund for the generous grant towards the cost of the new system.

Zero to Hero -Postponed | Jenny Davis

Unfortunately both taster sessions and the fitness classes will have to be postponed.  I am considering the option of some online sessions via Zoom or Facebook.

I am unsure if there will be any funding available for online sessions at the moment so I will assume that these sessions will be run at a cost of £3 per person, per session.

Please would you email [email protected] if you are interested in taking part in an online session and if you would prefer an evening or a daytime session.  If there is enough interest I will work out the best way to deliver these sessions.
