Our village defibrillator is now installed and operational. On Tuesday 6th September over 30 people attended an awareness session. They learned about the work of the Community Heartbeat Trust who provide the defibrillators. Our trainer outlined the main causes of cardiac arrest and how to perform CPR. We were then shown how to use the defibrillator and we were surprised to learn how user-friendly the device is. Everyone felt more confident about its use by the end of the session.
Our community defibrillator is now installed and operational.
On Tuesday, 6th September at 5.30 we are hosting a defibrillator awareness seminar in the village hall. The seminar is provided by the Community Heartbeat Trust and will last about 2 hours. It will explain how to access and operate the defibrillator in an emergency. The event is free. Everyone is welcome, but numbers are limited, so if you would like to attend please email us at [email protected] or message us on Facebook Thanks to everyone who made our Jubilee picnic such a success - to the volunteers who decorated the village hall and made cake, served teas and supervised games for the children. A special thanks to our musicians, the Otter Folk Group and Adam & Emma who had us all tapping our feet and lifted our spirits after all the social restrictions of the last two years. Thanks to Whizzbang for their zany antics which were hugely appreciated by children of all ages. Most of all thank you for supporting us. It was a memorable day!
We are planning a Jubilee event on Sunday 5th June. This will be a family picnic with children's games and entertainment. More details later but put the date in your diary.
The Village Hall committee is planning to hold a Queen's Jubilee party for the village, surrounding area and friends of the hall. The date for this will be Sunday, 5th June. We need to determine the level of interest in this event. The time scale is tight, so if this event is to be a success, we would like to know:-
There is a new fitness class being held at the village hall on Thursday mornings at 9.00am. This class is suitable for anyone looking to improve their fitness with low impact exercise that is fun and upbeat.
Beginners are welcome. Please contact Chelsey the instructor from Body First for more information. 07540 455669 [email protected] The trustees and volunteers will be doing weeding and general maintenance at the play park and village hall on Saturday 22nd Jaunuary.
We are also close to our target for the funding of a defibrillator for the hall. So watch this space for developments. Our recent Jumble Sale raised a grand total of £284.00 towards our defibrillator fund for the village hall.
We were also thrilled to receive an additional individual donation of £100.00. Thank you to all those who donated items, who helped at the sale and, most of all, those people who turned out on such a wet day and supported this worthy cause. We hope to hold another sale before Christmas so keep saving those serviceable but no longer needed items |
