"The defibrillator (AED) has now been commissioned and I fitted it yesterday to the porch of the main door to the Queen’s Head pub. It is now ready for use should an emergency occur. I have arranged for two training sessions:
Tuesday 4 August and Tuesday 15 September. Because of the summer holidays it has been quite difficult to tie up the training dates and this is why one has been booked for September.
The training will be carried out by Paul Pearman of the London Ambulance Service and will take approximately 90 minutes.
If you would like to be included in one of the training sessions please either email: downedefib@btinternet.com or ring me Dave Witherspoon on 01959 573157. Places are limited so please do get in touch if you are interested.
We have received a very generous donation from the customers at Holwood Farm Shop. We are very grateful for this donation as they have already purchased and received their AED and they promised they would help with ours. St Mary’s Church has very kindly offered to finance this initially, however, If you wish to make a donation, there are Gift Aid envelopes (please mark with 'defib') in the Church and cheques should be made payable to Downe PCC.
I will obtain some AED location signs than can be displayed around the village so that everyone (including visitors) will now where our defibrillator is.’
