Good News!
Hello everyone
At last I can put a blog on our 'Heartbeat' website - I had to be shown how to do it and hopefully this will work!
Huge thanks to Sue who set the whole thing up - I am in awe. She said it was easy but I wouldn't have known where to start. Using the pc for emails, designing etc - fine - but anything else I have to be shown.
The first community defib' is going to be situated outside the TCYC yacht club in the Eastcliff area of Teignmouth. A community defibrillator is one that is available 24/7 for anyone to use.
It is housed in a secure cabinet that has a keyboard on the front. Several people will have the code to open the cabinet - Coastwatch, yacht club etc - anyone else rings 999 and the code will be given over the telephone.
We have had the defib' for a while but have been waiting a long time for the secure cabinet to arrive. Well at last it has! Until now we had only seen pictures of the cabinet. The actual thing is enormous! Like a UFO and tough as old boots.
The suppliers said they had an exercise to try and break into a cabinet and three of them, with crowbars, hardly made a dent. So, it looks as though it will be very secure, weatherproof too.
The whole unit should be installed very soon - as soon as possible I hope. Once we have a date for this then we will invite all those who helped to make this possible (and anyone else who wants to come along) and have an 'unveiling' with press, and maybe local television). Watch this space!
I will write another update very soon but I just want to see if this goes through first. Also I want to learn how to attach photographs etc to make the site interesting to look at. Onwards and upwards!
Thank you for looking. Right - I shall press the Publish button now!
Shirley
