The portable unit is held by the physiotherapist, Alex Beck, and the other is fixed to the rear, or South, of the clubhouse overlooking the training area and patio. The club are delighted that stored securely in its case the Defibrillator may be accessed by any member of the general public as well as club users. Alongside the unit on Hudson’s Field it will provide further comprehensive coverage of this large, well used exercise area.

The club would like to extend their gratitude to D & N Maintenance who installed the unit free of charge and to Winterbury Training who are offering to provide training in the use of the units. Both units were purchased with funds raised by Neil Tonge on his Everest base camp Trek and bring the total provided so far to four.
