Defibrillator - A reminder to members that if anyone should be unfortunate enough to have a heart attack at the club, we have a defibrillator that is kept in the race box. It is very easy to use and you are encouraged to look at a short YouTube video on its operation here so that you are prepared in the event that one of your fellow members needs it.

The AGM on SUNDAY 5 NOVEMBER was well attended and there was constructive discussion on a number of issues, but particularly the problem of weed and funding for the roof replacement. The Committee will be taking forward both these issues and progress will be reported here.
