22nd CPR/Defib training.

A well attended evening with instruction being given by a team from 'Community First Responders', a group of volunteers whose purpose is to provide emergency medical care by responding to 999 calls until the ambulance service resource arrives on scene.

As well as responding to emergency 999 calls, CFRs promote health and wellbeing in their local community by raising the awareness of the importance of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the use of a defibrillator. Donations from HH and attending members were made to the CFR team.

​

​9th  - ​Group Meeting on 9th April.  St John Redditch.

​

Glyn Cardy talked about his role in delivering aircraft around the world. A brilliant meeting with a speaker who has certainly lived a life in both the forces and civilian aspects of Flying. Helicopters no problem, Fixed wing no problem, Jets no problem C10's no problem. Just about anything that can fly he's flown it and at 79 he's still doing it. Fantastic!
