Catchee Uppee time.

'Heartbeat' has enough funds for another two defib' units - fantastic!!

Finding locations for these - difficult!

Well, not so much the location but finding a space that is not on a listed building is proving testing. There is an ideal space in the Triangle on the solicitor's building next to W H Smiths. However, this is a listed building so may not be possible.

Another possible location is near The Ship Inn on the river beach - perhaps on the wall of the surf and boat premises. After two or three more in town then maybe the Richard Newton Hall? Then on to Dawlish and Shaldon.

We had planned to locate one outside the Carlton Theatre and had raised the funds ready. However, no-one from the theatre came back to us so we have had to ditch that idea. Shame - we thought it would have been an ideal place but, as it is now due for demolition it is not such a bad thing.

If you have any suggestions for locations please let us at 'Heartbeat' know about them, or if you would like to start raising money to buy your own defibrillator. Thank you.

Long time no see

Hello!

Apologies for not blogging for so long but I am back now.  The gap was mainly due to two things - a little health blip and also because I could then not get into the site to put a blog on!  I could read the blogs already on here but it wouldn't let me log in to write any new ones.  Frustrating!

There are lots of thanks due to lots of people.  To the two people who generously gave a cash donatation to 'Heartbeat'; to Patricia who made another bundle of lovely cards for us to sell; to Tina and Louise at Hobbycraft for being so very kind and helpful; to Tina in Teignmouth for her donation of goodies; to Mike who sorted out my computer for me, and to all the others who are supporting our charity - a big hug to you all.

It is thanks to generous and kind people like yourselves who have made it possible for 'Heartbeat' to do its work. X
